3 Unparalleled Resorces & Opportnities Distingished Faclty Many of the world s most distingished faclty call Berkeley home. Qoted almost daily in the national media for their grondbreaking research and thoghtfl analysis, or professors are among the most renowned and respected experts in their fields. 7 Nobel lareates 230 American Academy of Arts and Sciences fellows 40 American Philosophical Society 3 Fields Medal in Mathematics recipients 77 Flbright scholars 32 MacArthr fellows 97 National Academy of Engineering members 139 National Academy of Sciences members 13 National Medal of Science recipients 4 Plitzer Prize winners 88 Sloan Research Fellows 3 Tring Award recipients 1 U.S. Poet Lareate Or stdents prse research and professional activities throghot the globe. Opportnities inclde pblic-service fieldwork in locations ranging from nearby rban commnities to Sb-Saharan Africa to Polynesia; native langage recovery programs in California; city planning projects in China; archival research in India and Pakistan; edcation projects for women and children in Nigeria and Indonesia; and more. Or 20 camps libraries nderpin stdy and research with 11 million volmes and electronic jornals. Berkeley s pblic collections are topranked in the contry. Or laboratories and interdisciplinary centers are among the most grond-breaking anywhere. The reach of or stdents work extends from library, lab, and field station to commnity, commerce, and indstry. Or connections help Berkeley gradate stdents transfer their ideas and inventions to the marketplace. For example, the QB3 Garage@Berkeley is a network of modern biotech labs, where forward-thinkers lay fondations for new indstries, gided by faclty mentors. Berkeley Skydeck is a technology entreprenership center that incbates, accelerates, and expands the pipeline of start-ps. Every year, dozens of new ventres arise from innovations made by Berkeley gradate stdents and faclty. All on one camps Instittes, research centers, mltidisciplinary labs, and msems Collaboration and innovation spring from more than 100 (ever-growing) clsters.
