Shari Routch, director of University Relations at Penn State Altoona, was selected for the University’s Commission for Women’s Achieving Women Award. This award recognizes Penn State women who have shown notable leadership and accomplishment in their fields, and have gone beyond the requirements of their employment duties and responsibilities in support of the University’s diversity efforts, promotion of equal opportunity or contribution to human causes and public service activities.
Described in nomination letters as a mentor, a leader, a motivator, Routch is lauded for her work within the University, including the Leadership for Life program at Penn State Altoona which she established in 2013, and her work with the Blair County United Way.
Routch will be recognized at the commission’s annual luncheon in April at University Park.
