I am confident she is\r\nthe right person for the job, which comes at a time when space travel and\r\nsecurity are increasingly gaining national attention. Her appointment as the\r\nfirst woman in this important position is historic and will also serve as an\r\ninspiration to young women who are thinking about careers in the STEM field.\r\nHer deep knowledge of the subject matter, proven leadership skills as acting\r\ndirector, and strong ties to Alabama will serve her well as she officially\r\ntakes the reins at Marshall and further bolsters its reputation as a leader in\r\nspaceflight, research, and exploration.
