                   TRIBUTE TO PEGGY SHADDUCK PALOMBI

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Peggy 
Shadduck Palombi of Lexington, KY, on being recognized as one of 
America's top professors in the 2005 U.S. Professors of the Year 
Program by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
  The annual U.S. Professors of the Year Program was established in 
1981 to reward outstanding professors for their dedication to teaching, 
commitment to students, and innovative instructional methods. It is the 
only national program to recognize college and university professors 
for their teaching skills.
  Ms. Palombi, an associate professor at Transylvania University, in 
Lexington, KY, has been recognized by the Council for Advancement and 
Support of Education for her tireless work in exhibiting excellence at 
Transylvania University. Ms. Palombi sets an example of excellence for 
both colleagues and students alike. She inspires her students to 
achieve academically and contribute to the community.
  I now ask my fellow colleagues to join me in thanking Ms. Palombi for 
her dedication and commitment to the education of America's future. In 
order for our society to continue to advance in the right direction, we 
must have professors like Peggy Shadduck Palombi in our institutions of 
higher learning, in our communities, and in our lives. She is Kentucky 
at its finest.
