Congratulations to Paterno Fellow Taryn Noll, who is a recipient of the Rock Ethics Institute’s Stand Up Award. The Stand Up Award honors Penn State undergraduate students who have the courage and fortitude to take an ethical stand for a person, cause or belief, and thereby demonstrate ethical leadership concerning this issue. This award and the individuals and stories it honors will remind the entire Penn State community of how often the extraordinary act is possible in ordinary circumstances.
Taryn is being honored for her ethical leadership in developing a network of support for young adults at Penn State who are dealing with a loved one’s diagnosis of cancer. Listen to Taryn tell her story at http://rockethics.psu.edu/leadership/standup/2013/noll.shtml.
