Chen Wins Rosemary Schraer Mentoring Award
Tina Chen has won the 2024 Rosemary Schraer Mentoring Award from Penn State. This award recognizes university employees "who have a record of outstanding mentoring service that goes beyond the requirements of their employment duties and responsibilities."
Within the English department, Chen founded (and for many years directed) the graduate mentoring program, a cohort-based program that pairs incoming graduate students with more senior ones to provide support and foster community. In her role as managing editor of Verge: Studies in Global Asias, Chen not only employs and mentors two graduate student workers, but also encourages collaboration between emerging and established scholars within the journal's pages and through its associated programming. (Chen recently spoke of her editorial commitment to mentorship at the 2024 CALS Spring Symposium.) As one nominator said, Chen's work as a mentor "benefit[s] this generation of new scholars but will also undoubtedly help many more to come.”
Congratulations, Tina, on this recognition of your numerous and invaluable efforts to support the continued growth and health of the profession!
