Sanders Wins Robinson Equal Opportunity Award

Crystal Sanders, associate professor of history, will receive the 2021 Dr. James Robinson Equal Opportunity Award from Penn State. The award recognizes her many efforts to promote equal opportunity and promote cross-cultural understanding at the university. In announcing the award, the university noted that her nominators “called Sanders a fierce proponent of the history of black education and also an advocate for expanding opportunities for minorities in the field.” Dr. Sanders has initiated many programs, symposia, and other events to promote inclusion and collaboration among faculty and students, including the Richards Center’s undergraduate Catto-LeCount Fellows Program for Equity and Inclusion.
