Lee Kump, John Leone Dean in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Membership in the NAS is one of the highest honors given to a scientist or engineer in the United States and members are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

Two Penn State professors have been named Evan Pugh University Professors, an elite and prestigious distinction conferred by Penn State to only 79 faculty members since the designation’s establishment in 1960.
