Bill Goffe, teaching professor of economics in the College of the Liberal Arts, has received the 2025 McKay Donkin Award.

Established in 1969 in honor of the late McKay Donkin, who served as vice president and treasurer of the University from 1957 to 1968, the award is presented to a full-time member of the faculty or staff or to a retiree who has contributed most to the “economic, physical, mental or social welfare of the faculty” of the University. The contribution should be for duties or services above and beyond the recipient’s regularly assigned duties.

Nominators said Goffe spearheads numerous initiatives that elevate the well-being and sense of community among faculty across Penn State. They lauded his exceptional efforts to improve teaching, advocate for faculty inclusion and foster professional development
