The first five Richard and Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professors in the College of Letters and Science were appointed this fall. Goldman Professors are appointed for five-year terms, except for UGIS, where the term is one year.
Distinguished professorships are among the highest honors bestowed on members of the faculty.
The appointments celebrate the careers of prestigious individuals, four of whom were already on the faculty and one of whom, Inez Fung, is new to Berkeley. Richard Goldman '41, is seated.
