At the 2015 College of the Liberal Arts Staff Appreciation Ceremony, held at the Nittany Lion Inn on February 24, Trisha Everhart, Administrative Coordinator for LER, was recognized with two awards. 

Trisha received the Exceptional Service Award for her exceptional efforts in managing the LER Office and all aspects of the program. 

She also received the 2014/2015 Filippelli Staff Scholarship Award. This has particular significance to LER as the award was funded in honor of Ronald L. Filippelli, former Head of LER (1982-1992) and Associate Dean Emeritus of the College and goes to a staff member in the College of the Liberal Arts who is pursuing a part-time degree at Penn State. The award was created in Ron’s name as he was a staunch supporter of staff who undertook study towards a degree while working full-time.  Trisha is pursuing a Masters degree in Higher Education.
