Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Lee Kump who recently completed
Since 1986, Dr. Kump has been an integral part of the Penn State community and has served as the college's dean since 2017. Throughout his career, he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in geochemistry, astrobiology, and mathematical modeling, helping students understand our Earth.
