EECS Faculty and Alumni recognized with UC Berkeley Achievement Awards

Each year, UC Berkeley honors exceptional members of its community through the Achievement Awards. These awards recognize industry-shaping leaders, devoted alumni who have deeply impacted the campus, and young graduates whose early accomplishments show great promise. The awards are co-presented by the UC Berkeley Foundation and the Cal Alumni Association. This year, four of the seven recipients are members of the EECS community.
