Sending a ‘We Are!’ to AJ Downey

Dr. Laura Guertin Recognition , ,

On July 25, 2018, as part of Penn State Today’s regular “We Are!” feature, the University recognized six Penn Staters who have gone above and beyond what’s asked of them in their work at the University. One of those recognized is Sustainovation Team member AJ Downey!

AJ Downey, of Penn State Brandywine, whose nominator wrote: “AJ provides critical staff assistance for our Sustainable Communities Collaborative grant. For the past year, she has assisted with all logistics working on and off campus with our community partners. AJ’s professionalism and enthusiasm is excellent support for the grant and Penn State’s land-grant mission!”

Congratulations, AJ, for this well-deserved honor! The full article can be accessed at Penn State News.
