Visiting Professorships
The College of Environmental Design’s visiting faculty and endowed professors bring new perspectives to our community through teaching, participating in the intellectual and creative life of the college, and giving public lectures.
Hosting visitors from around the globe extends and expands our horizons, leading to innovative, cross-disciplinary solutions to design and planning problems. Visiting faculty connect the college to the worlds of practice, government, nonprofits, and other universities and help forge a broad coalition committed to creating better futures through the built environment.
We are grateful to the donors who support these opportunities.
Berkeley Rupp Prize
The Berkeley Rupp Prize provides recognition and support of the special values that women bring to the built environment. An award of $100,000 is given to a distinguished practitioner or academic who has made a significant contribution to the areas of gender equity, environmentally sensitive use of resources, community, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and/or innovation in their body of work. Designed as a period for regeneration, this unique opportunity provides recipients with the chance to engage in creative scholarly pursuits during a period of residency at the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley.
