   Grace Hopper passed away on New Years Day of 1992. In 2016, President Obama posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom for contributions to computer science. And in 2017, Yale renamed its Calhoun College as Grace Hopper College:

   The Grace Hopper College coat of arms references both her time in the navy (the dolphin and wave-like pattern) and her contributions to computer science (the vertical bars and circles representing ones and zeroes.)
