J & J Medal Awarded to Penn State Engineering Ambassadors

The Penn State Engineering Ambassadors program has been named the winner of the 2012 Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc. Medal by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for its efforts in diversity and inclusiveness. 

A note from Johnson & Johnson states that the Engineering Ambassadors are being recognized  "for empowering student representatives through the development of communication and leadership skills that are critical in their role as Engineering Ambassadors and for their future professional success; for providing outreach presentations at middle schools and high schools to encourage careers in engineering and to recruit more women into the field; and for sharing the program’s success with other universities."

A special Thank You to Dr. Mary Frecker for nominating the Engineering Ambassadors Program for this award. The award will be presented at the ASME Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition on Nov. 11 in Houston, Texas.
