MARY ANN CHAVEY'S RETIREMENT FROM PENN STATE UNIVERSITY
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate and recognize Mary Ann Chavey for her retirement from Penn State University, my alma mater.
Mary Ann was hired by Penn State in April 1976 and has served the university with distinction for 45 years. She joined the Office of Government and Community Relations, OGCR, in 1996 and has served as executive assistant through two vice president transitions.
Penn State OGCR is the office elected officials contact to interact with the university's world-class scientific researchers and talented students as well as its senior leaders. Mary Ann always handled her duties with grace and professionalism. Her institutional memory and understanding of the university have been critical to serving Penn State's external stakeholders at the Federal, State, local, and Tribal governmental levels.
Mary Ann has been the glue that held OGCR together over the years. She has been a model and mentor to numerous staff and student interns. Her knowledge and expertise helped strengthen the OGCR team to advance the mission, vision, and goals of Penn State University.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Mary Ann Chavey for her extraordinary service to Penn State University and a congratulations on her retirement.
