America 250: UC Berkeley's Impact

Since our founding in 1868, Berkeley has served as a primary engine for the country’s success, transforming the lives of our students and the trajectory of our society. Berkeley research has helped shape modern science and technology; our students and alumni have served in uniform across generations; and the Berkeley campus is a vital laboratory for democracy and civic participation.

In this historic year, few institutions can proudly claim such a varied legacy — to make the nation stronger, to question its choices, and to insist it live up to its ideas — but Berkeley can. On this page, you will find stories and events that illustrate how, through innovation, opportunity, and civic courage, UC Berkeley is and has always been a cornerstone of the American journey.
