This Is Caltech - California Institute Of Technology
Thisis2020
Founded in 1891, Caltech is a world-renownedscience and engineering institute that marshalssome of the world’s brightest minds and mostinnovative tools to address fundamental scientificquestions and pressing societal challenges. Anindependent, privately supported institutionlocated in Pasadena, California, Caltech alsomanages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL),located 6 miles north of campus, for NASA.
THE INSTITUTE MARKS TWO IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARIES IN 2020100 Years50 YearsIn 1920, the institution originally founded as Throop University wasreimagined and renamed as the California Institute of Technology.With a new focus on science and engineering, and the addition ofgraduate students to the campus, it became a true research institute.In the ensuing 100 years, Caltech has evolved into a world-leading hubof research and education, led by a diverse community of scientists,engineers, students, and staff members who have made a transformativeimpact on Southern California and across the globe.Women were admitted to Caltech as undergraduates forthe first time in the fall of 1970. Stephanie Charles, DeborahChung, Sharon Long, and Flora Wu received bachelor’sdegrees in 1973; all four graduated with honors and pursuedcareers in STEM fields. Female graduate students had beenadmitted to the Institute two decades earlier, with DorothyAnn Semenow the first woman to receive a Caltech PhD(in chemistry and biology) in 1955.“One of the striking aspects of the modernfounders of Caltech was the risks they tookat the beginning, and the courage theyhad in their convictions. I think it’s thatcourage that is important to maintain.”“It had always seemed to me that it was up toCaltech, for its own good as well as the goodof society, to encourage those who reachedthe point of college admissions to go to asgood a place as they could. And Caltech wassuch a place.”of “California Institute of Technology”–Caltech president Thomas F. Rosenbaum(2014-present)of Female Undergraduates–Caltech president Harold Brown (1969-1977)on the admission of women to Caltech,which became Institute policy during his tenure

ResearchTHIS IS CALTECHUnderstanding Our World and Other Planets28Caltech has brought together once-discrete disciplines, such asastronomy, geology, biology, and chemistry, to answer fundamentalquestions about our planet and beyond. To that end, Caltechresearchers have imaged earthquakes like 2019’s Ridgecrest sequencewith unprecedented resolution, and have used data from NASA’sSpitzer telescope to reveal a system of seven Earth-sized planetsorbiting the nearby star TRAPPIST-1.Next-generation AstronomyCaltech researchers have developed innovative technologies to peerinto the fabric of the universe. In recent years, they have discovereda new class of supernovae and ancient galaxies, and, throughLIGO, have advanced studies of black holes and other high-energycosmic objects through the study of dozens of gravitational-wavesignals detected over the past five years.Sustainability 2.0Caltech works to invent new methods for high-precisionobservation, measurement, and analysis of Earth’s environmentand the interconnected forces that have shaped it over millennia.Fueled by a 750 million pledge by Stewart and Lynda Resnick,Institute researchers will investigate ways to develop efficientsolar fuels and a smart electricity infrastructure; measure,model, and potentially mitigate climate change; effectivelymanage water resources; and create ways to improve soilfertility in a changing climate.WHAT WE DOCaltech’s contributions to science, engineering, technology, and societyare made possible by the individuals recruited to join the Institute’scommunity and the problems they choose to explore. The discoveriesand solutions that emanate from campus and JPL are shaped by acombination of focus, intensity, and fearlessness.29
