Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye honored as one of 55 remarkable women from UC Davis

The Chief Justice of California, Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye ’84, has been honored as one of 55 “Remarkable UC Davis Women." The honor is part of a celebration of the 150th anniversary of women first being admitted to the University of California. 

Cantil-Sakauye, the state’s 28th chief justice, is the first Filipina American and the second woman to serve in the role. A double Aggie, she received her undergraduate degree from UC Davis in 1980.

Spearheaded by UC Berkeley, the "150W" project celebrates women of distinction across the UC system. Among other Davis honorees are San Francisco Mayor London Breed and astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson, both UC Davis alumnae, and the campus' first Vice Chancellor of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Renetta Garrison Tull.
