So I'd say we are in pretty good company. And More than one in eight sitting faculty in the US has a PhD from one of these five institutions [Berkeley, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford, UW Madison]. And so that speaks to our profound influence on the cycle of knowledge and the impact that we have on the country and across the globe. (04:31–04:37)
