阿宾顿,爸爸. — In recognition of student leadership and commitment to environmental stewardship, 菲利普·迪乌夫, an undergraduate at 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校, has been named one of this year's recipients of the John Roe 可持续性 Impact Award. 这个奖项, named after the late Penn State mathematics professor John Roe, reflects the profound impact of individuals who are driven to make a difference in the 可持续性 landscape of the University. Diouf's proactive approach and effective leadership are especially celebrated with this award.
"Phillip has been instrumental in advancing 可持续性 efforts on campus,” said assistant director of residence life, 何塞·加西亚·辛托拉. “His involvement with Counseling and Psychological Services and the 可持续性 Council has been marked by initiatives that have not only raised awareness but also mobilized the community towards actionable change."
Diouf’s contribution as a peer mentor and his dynamic role in 可持续性 discussions during the Higher Education 302 class are highlights of his advocacy work. His insightful facilitation has inspired many resident assistant candidates to integrate sustainable practices into their future roles, creating a ripple effect of positive change across campus.
Reflecting on his contributions and the award recognition, 迪乌夫说, "这个奖项 is not just about the initiatives we've started or the events we've organized; it's about sparking a conversation that leads to enduring change. Seeing my fellow students take up the mantle of 可持续性 in their own lives and future careers is truly the most rewarding outcome of our collective efforts. 在宾州州立大学, we're not just talking about making a difference; we are actively building a community where 可持续性 is woven into the very fabric of our daily lives."
Diouf’s dedication to the principles of 可持续性 extends into his everyday life at Penn State, fostering an environment where responsible consumption and health and well-being are part of the campus culture, according to 道格拉斯·古德斯坦, associate director for student engagement at Penn State 可持续性, who added that this aligns with Penn State's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which serve as a global blueprint for dignity, 和平, and prosperity for people and the planet, 现在和未来.
"Students like 菲利普·迪乌夫 are at the forefront of Penn State's mission to integrate 可持续性 into our education, 研究, 操作, 和推广,古德斯坦说. “His endeavors exemplify our shared commitment to a sustainable future, and his recognition with the John Roe Award is richly deserved. He is a beacon of sustainable leadership and an inspiration to us all."
