Letter

To the Honorable Lawrence Curry,

I am writing this letter to ask for your support in the fight to ensure that all higher institutes of higher education in this commonwealth have the resources to provide the best education available to the citizens of this state, but also all of the young minds who come from other states to learn at our institutions.
I am currently a student at The Pennsylvania State University, where I am a freshman studying materials science and engineering, which I define as the application of the principles of chemistry to solve problems and investigate real world materials.
The state appropriations are critical to the department of materials science, as nearly all of its funding is from federal and state sources. This funding has allowed the department to become one of the best in the world, if not the best in the world. By supporting Penn State, you can continue to support all of the research this does and ensure that the international talent that currently comes to Penn State does not decide to go to some other school where the funding is better.

Sincerely,
John O’Brien
