Nominations sought for 2025 Outstanding Office Professional Award

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Educational Office Professionals group is seeking nominations for its 2025 Outstanding Office Professional Award. The award recognizes office employees who have provided meritorious service on behalf of Penn State. 

Nominations will be accepted for any University administrative worker at University Park or the Commonwealth Campuses. Two winners will be chosen — one from University Park and one from a Commonwealth Campus. Any Penn State administrative support staff member with a minimum of three years of full-time University service, or three years as a wage payroll employee, is eligible. 

The best administrative office professionals aren't just reactive and responding to needs as they come in. They look for ways to create efficiencies, streamline operations, and implement new programs to the benefit of themselves, their executives, and the University as a whole. They're organized, resourceful, and anticipate solutions before there is a problem.

To submit a nomination, visit the Outstanding Office Professional Award website to download the nomination form. Nominations are due to Jessica Wilson at jrw412@psu.edu by Friday, April 11.
