HHD Faculty Sustainability Award
The HHD Faculty Sustainability Award recognizes extraordinary achievement and service in advancing global sustainable development goals while carrying out the college’s efforts to maximize health, optimize quality of life, and enhance human potential for all people and populations.
- Eligibility
-
Our vision is that the College of Health and Human Development will be a world leader in sustainability through our teaching, research, and outreach. Penn State defines Sustainability as "the simultaneous pursuit of human health and happiness, environmental quality, and economic well-being for current and future generations." The award will be given with consideration of success in one or more of the following areas:
1. Teaching: Enhancing the understanding of sustainable practices in all aspects of human health and producing graduates prepared to apply these practices at work and at home by offering students an extraordinary education supported by curricular and co-curricular innovation.
2. Research: Creating knowledge related to sustainable activity in health and its impact on society, from local to world-wide, by reinforcing the strong culture of discovery that exists among the College of Health and Human Development faculty and, more broadly, generating a culture of sustainable actions.
3. Outreach: Working with all aspects of the health care, social services, and related communities to provide intellectual leadership in sustainable practices to spread resiliency.
All full-time College faculty of all ranks, except those serving on the selection committee are eligible for this award.
