Penn State Harrisburg has announced the recipients of the college’s annual Alumni Achievement Awards. One graduate from each of the college’s five academic schools earned the accolade thanks to their outstanding professional accomplishments.

Dr. Tracy Brundage, president of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga., was the award recipient from the School of Behavioral Sciences and Education at the recent ceremony. Other recipients included Tom Stoessel from the School of Humanities, Scott Kupper from the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology, Jacquelyn Anderson from the School of Business Administration, and John Saich from the School of Public Affairs.

“I am grateful to receive this year’s Alumni Achievement Award from the School of Behavioral Sciences and Education,” Brundage said. “It was an honor to be back on campus after 25 years and to see how things have changed since I attended as a graduate student. I certainly enjoyed meeting the other very deserving award recipients.”

Brundage holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Gettysburg College, as well as a Master of Education in training and development from Penn State Harrisburg and a doctoral degree in workforce education and development from Penn State University Park.
