The commission will honor these achievements during the annual Hendrick Best Practices for Adult Learners Conference on May 16 at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel.
Nominations are being sought for:

-- The Outstanding Adult Learner Recruitment or Retention Program Award, which recognizes an outstanding recruitment or retention program that helps this student population through its originality, program goals, program effectiveness, sensitivity to diversity, use of technology, number of learners served and overall impact on recruitment and retention.
University faculty, staff and students are invited to submit nominations. Award information and online nomination forms are available on the Commission for Adult Learners' website at http://www.outreach.psu.edu/commission/award.html. The submission deadline is April 15.
