Penn State is working with Green Dot to offer bystander intervention training to teach people the skills to step in and diffuse potentially problematic situations. As part of that, a student group at Penn State Behrend has been asking students to sign green dots saying what they would do.
Each year, Penn State honors several members of its faculty and staff for the highest levels of academic excellence, outstanding leadership and meritorious service. The 2015 Faculty/Staff Award recipients — 33 outstanding University employees and one program — reach across campuses, colleges and administrative units and exemplify best practices and achievements among Penn Staters reflecting the University's mission of teaching, research and service.
