  • Active in Community Affairs or Professional Organizations
  • Active in Campus Activities
  • Achieved Academic Distinction
  • Worked his/her Way Through College

If you know graduating seniors or graduate students who meet these qualifications, they are eligible for the Penn State Harrisburg Graduating Senior and Graduate Student Awards presented annually at the Alumni Awards Reception in October.

Nominations may come from faculty, staff, other students, or be self-nominating. They are due by February 15 each spring. Eligible students must have graduated in the summer, fall or spring of the nominating year.

For more information, contact the Alumni Relations Office in room W110 of the Olmsted Building, or call (717) 948-6715 or email hbgalumni@psu.edu. Nominators need only send a letter of recommendation. The student will be asked to complete the online form. Each nomination may include up to three letters of recommendation. No resumes will be accepted.
