“Throughout his long and successful career at Penn State, Rob Crane has championed the need to situate his research and academic discipline in the global context. His legacy to all the students who he has taught and advised is extraordinary, and faculty and staff consider him a knowledgeable, inspiring and gracious colleague,” said Roger Brindley, vice provost for Global Programs.
Brindley continued, “In recent years he has become a critical voice as Global Programs worked to enhance global engagement within the values and goals of the University. His thoughtful but always calm and caring demeanor is respected across the commonwealth and around the country, and Global Programs will miss an exemplary leader and a good friend when Rob retires.”
