THE ROBERT J. SCANNEL ROLL-OF-HONOR

The Robert J. Scannell Roll-of-Honor was proposed by the Council of Athletic Directors in 1991 and approved by the Dean of the College of HPER. The award is named in the honor of Robert J. Scannell, the former Dean of the College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation and later the Vice President and Dean of the Commonwealth Education System. It was through the efforts and support of Dr. Scannell that the Athletic and Recreational programs were established at the Pennsylvania State University’s Commonwealth Campuses. The award is presented annually to an administrator, faculty, staff member or coach who has served campus athletic, intramural and recreational programs with distinction.
