2023 Staff Appreciation Ceremony
Did you know that our approximately 250 staff members help support more than 470 faculty and 150 postdocs representing more than $100 million in research expenditures and $45 million in research funding; and more than 3,500 undergraduate and 800 graduate students.
The Eberly College of Science held its annual Halloween-themed Staff Appreciation Ceremony on Oct. 30 to celebrate the important contributions across the college’s units and departments.
The college awards include some department- and unit-specific recognitions as well as staff years of service to Penn State.
