SUMMARY:An Evening with Dr. Ellen Ochoa at California State University Northridge
DESCRIPTION:September 28\, 2023 – 3:00pm to 5:30pm\nUniversity Student Union – Grand Salon\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as we welcome Dr. Ochoa to CSUN\, and enjoy an unforgettable evening with one of America’s trailblazers.\n\n\n\n\n\nEllen Ochoa has charted a dazzling and inspirational career path: from her early days as a researcher\, to her four missions as an astronaut\, to heading up NASA’s Johnson Space Center\, Ochoa has seen first hand the importance of minorities in STEM\, women in leadership positions\, and the way innovative change management can push a team—an entire organization—forward. \nEllen Ochoa is a pioneer like no other. She made history as the first Latina to go to space\, blazing a trail for other marginalized kids who dream of the stars. There were few minorities in leadership when she joined NASA—so she changed that\, becoming the first Hispanic and second female director of the Johnson Space Center. Despite her many accomplishments\, Ellen says the biggest role she’s played is in mentoring and advocating for the next generation: “astronauts\, scholars\, who will go on to accomplish more than we can imagine.” In her evocative talks\, she draws from her wealth of experiences\, both in space and on the ground\, to empower audiences to break barriers and overcome adversity. \nThere will be two sessions on September 28\, 2023: \n\n3:00-3:45 pm: for visiting students from local middle and high schools\n4:00-5:30pm: for the general CSUN community and guestsRegister at this link to attend. \nhttps://library.csun.edu/events/ellen-ochoa

SUMMARY:Dedication of Ellen Ochoa Pavilion at SDSU:
DESCRIPTION:Two prominent figures in San Diego State University history — veteran astronaut Ellen Ochoa and mathematician Charles B. Bell Jr.\, — will be honored this spring in the renaming of the West Commons and East Commons buildings. \nEllen Ochoa \nWith the naming of the Ellen Ochoa Pavilion\, SDSU honors Ochoa’s exceptional work expanding scientific understanding\, breaking barriers in a historically male-led industry\, and her continued support of students and the university. \nA role model for girls and underrepresented minorities who aspire to have careers in science\, technology\, engineering and math\, Ochoa inspires students around the world to pursue their dreams and overcome potential barriers to their success. Ochoa continues to support the students at her alma mater\, leaving a legacy that will positively impact the lives of students at SDSU for years to come. \nOchoa grew up in La Mesa\, attended Grossmont High School and graduated from SDSU in 1980. At SDSU\, she was a member of the Marching Aztecs and spent five years in the SDSU Wind Ensemble. She then went on to Stanford University to receive master’s and doctoral degrees and launch her research career. She holds three patents in her research specialty\, optics. \nShe later joined NASA in 1988 and was selected for the astronaut corps two years later. In 1993\, she flew on her first mission\, becoming the first Latina in space. She flew on four shuttle missions with a total of more than 978 hours in orbit and was on the first shuttle flight to dock with the International Space Station. \nOchoa capped a 30-year career with NASA by serving as director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston\, Texas. Supervising a workforce of 10\,000\, Ochoa was the first Hispanic director of the Johnson Space Center and only its second female leader. \nIn 1995\, Ochoa was recognized by SDSU as Distinguished Alumna of the Year and in October 2019 she received an honorary Doctor of Science degree at a special SDSU ceremony in recognition of her role in space exploration and her commitment to the education of young people across the country. \n“As a Latina\, a scientist and a leader\, Ellen is a pioneer who has made incredible contributions to her field\, our university\, and young minds around the world\,” said de la Torre. “The Ellen Ochoa Pavilion will serve as a physical reminder for students of all backgrounds to break through barriers and ‘reach for the stars.’ SDSU is so proud to honor her as an alumna.”

SUMMARY:Linda Hall Library of Science\, Engineering and Technology: An Evening with Astronaut Ellen Ochoa
DESCRIPTION:The program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEllen Ochoa—inventor\, astronaut\, and space center director—is a pioneer like no other. She made history as the first Latina to go to space\, blazing a trail for other marginalized kids who dream of the stars. There were few minorities in leadership when she joined NASA—so she changed that\, becoming the first Hispanic and second female director of the Johnson Space Center. \n  \nDr. Ochoa earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from San Diego State University and a master’s degree and doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Prior to her selection as an astronaut in 1990\, she was a research engineer at Sandia National Laboratories and NASA Ames Research Center\, where she investigated optical systems for performing information processing. She is a co-inventor on three patents and author of several technical papers. She flew in space four times aboard the Space Shuttle\, logging nearly 1\,000 hours in orbit. \nThe lecture will be in person at the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City\, Missouri. \nRegistration will open March 9\, 2023.
