“As the only four-year university in the San Fernando Valley, where Dr. Ride was raised and perhaps first dreamed of going into space, it is a privilege for CSU Northridge to support this resolution renaming a portion of State Highway 101 to the Dr. Sally Ride Memorial Highway,” said Dr. Erika Beck, President of California State University, Northridge. “During her life, she was passionate about improving science education and helping young women and girls foster an interest in science, and Dr. Ride’s legacy continues to inspire people to reach for the stars. Given her distinguished accomplishments in science and in higher education and our pride for her as a product of the Valley and Los Angeles, CSU Northridge is honored to support this well-deserved resolution.”
