Sending a 'We Are!' and thank you to these Penn Staters
This week, we recognize six people and members of staff who go above and beyond what's asked of them in their work at the University. We're sending a "We Are!" to Penn Staters with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Penn State Harrisburg, Penn State DuBois and Penn State Hazleton.

Three materials professors awarded NSF Early Career Awards
When a faculty member is granted an Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation, it’s an honor for their career and department. But, when three members earn that distinction, as faculty in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering did this year, it’s three times the accolades for the department.
