Historically, Cal is best known for its free speech movement in the 60s...and the past year's tree-sitter episodes. But UC Berkeley is also a leader in many fields, and prides itself on being a public university. We have brainy scientists, great rugby teams, talented writers, amazing designers, and intellectuals in several disciplines - especially ones that are interdisciplinary and increasingly important when it comes to looking at the challenges that the world faces today.
