As part of our regular "We Are!" feature, we recognize six Penn Staters who have gone above and beyond what's asked of them in their work at the University. Do you know someone who deserves a shout-out? If you do, consider taking a minute to nominate that person by filling out a short online form.

This week, we'd like say thank you on behalf of the entire University community to:

Jacqueline Watts of Student Affairs, whose nominator wrote: "Jacqueline was incredibly welcoming when we wandered into her office with questions on how to research a room in the HUB. She answered all of our questions and went above and beyond her normal responsibilities to make sure we had what we needed for our event. We are happy to have made a new friend."

Kendall Mainzer of Arts and Architecture, whose nominator wrote: "She goes above and beyond for all of the students she assists. She would give you the shirt off her back if you asked her. One of the most incredible people I have ever met."

Nadine Houck of Agricultural Sciences, whose nominator wrote: "A recent tour of the Penn State dairy barn given by Nadine Houck was an incredible experience because of Nadine’s ability to incorporate the facility, animal care, students' work and research. She shared so many aspects of Penn State that we left truly understanding the 'We Are' of the Penn State Dairy Barn."

Thank you to Jacqueline, Kendall, and Nadine — and to everyone who helps make Penn State such an incredible community. We Are!
