Four (brilliant!) finalists named for 2020 University Medal

Berkeley is known globally as a center of academic excellence, attracting the best and brightest students from the United States and the world. But in every class, a small cohort of students are distinguished by their wide-ranging interests, deep commitment and, of course, hard work.

This year’s University Medal winner’s exemplify the incredible accomplishment and promise of the Class of 2020. Now they are graduating, part of an international community of students whose traditional ceremonies are delayed or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
