Sally Ride was the first American woman in space and also the youngest astronaut to travel to space. She was a UC San Diego professor of Physics from 1987 until her death in 2012. In commemoration of her birthday, the US Postal Service is releasing the #sallyrideforever #stamp today. The dedication is @ucsandiego with tennis legend @billiejeanking and #astronaut Ellen Ochoa.

UC San Diego Extension
Going to an American university is very different compared to universities in Europe. I really enjoyed the passion everyone brings to the campus. Every professor and every advisor here gives their best to make your time at UC San Diego the most enjoyable you can have. Whenever you have a concern, there is someone around to help you out with it. You get a general positive feeling from the first second you step on campus.
I have two overarching goals in my academic life. First, I would like to soak in as many influences in regard to countries and culture as possible. The United States was always on my bucket list of countries which I wanted to experience in more detail than just as a tourist. UC San Diego, which is located in one of the greatest cities in the country, gives you the perfect foundation to experience this wonderful country and its culture. Second, I am aiming for a career in business. With the high degree of experience every professor has, they not only taught me the academic side of each subject but also real-world skills that will benefit me in my career.
After finishing my program at UC San Diego, I will go back to school in Munich for one more term to finish my undergraduate program. After this, I will return to the U.S. for graduate school. I know it is expensive here, but I am 100% sure now that it will be worth it. —Yannick Rosenlehner
