Abstract:
Lee Gurel, who had a distinguished career as a research psychologist with the Veterans Administration, passed away at home in Alexandria, Virginia, on July 24, 2023, at the age of 96. Gurel was born on October 1, 1926, in Poland, and came to the United States with his family in 1930. He was a prolific researcher with over 120 publications. Some of his lasting contributions to the field came from his tireless philanthropic efforts to support educators and students. The depth of his engagement in the communities of which he was a part led him to receive multiple honors. Gurel's strong analytic and quantitative skills, combined with his quiet leadership style, contributed to improving our research understanding in psychology. His compassion for others and his insatiable belief in the transformative power of education helped model for the field the importance of the linkages between research, teaching, and civic life.
