UCLA lost a great friend last Thursday. Sue K. Young, a former student, a campus activist and wife of former Chancellor Charles E. Young, passed away after a long battle with breast cancer.

Young was a strong female figure, constantly redefining her role as UCLA’s “first lady.” Her efforts to work with the administration and other universities were recognized when she was officially made an associate of the chancellor. Along with being an effective administrator, Young was also a prolific scholar, a published author and a strong supporter for women’s health programs.

While many current students may not have known her directly, Young’s legacy and concern for students and the campus will be a part of UCLA forever.
