Looking for a school that makes a difference, from climate change to social mobility to public service? The entire UC system fits the bill, Washington Monthly finds in its newly released “2020 College Guide and Rankings,” with all nine undergraduate campuses ranking in the top 100.
寻找一所在温室效应、社会流动性、公共服务等方面发挥作用的学校?《华盛顿月刊》（Washington Monthly）在其最新发布的“2020大学指南和排名（2020 College Guide and Rankings）”中发现，整个加州大学体系都符合这一要求，9所分校全都进入了前100名。
The Washington Monthly rankings are released each year to measure schools based on their contributions to the public good. Their aim is to offer a “socially-conscious” assessment that measures cost, student social mobility, post-graduation earnings and public service — things that actively contribute to making the nation a better place.
《华盛顿月刊》每年都会发布排名，以衡量学校对公共事业的贡献。他们的目标是提供一种“社会意识”评估，衡量成本、学生社会流动性、毕业后收入和公共服务——这些都对让国家有积极贡献的方面。
This year, UC San Diego was once again the highest-ranked public university, with four other UC campuses in the top 20. On individual metrics, several campuses really stood out: UC Davis was ranked the second-best public school in the country for social mobility, and UC Riverside was No. 15 nationally for its commitment to community service.
今年，加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UC San Diego）再次成为排名最高的公立大学，该校还有四所分校进入前20名。在个人指标上，有几所大学脱颖而出，分别是：加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）在社会流动性方面排名全国第二，而加州大学河滨分校（UC Riverside）在社区服务方面排名全国第15。
“This prestigious ranking reflects the strides our campus has made to shape an inclusive future,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “Not only do we believe that high-quality, affordable education should be accessible to all high-achieving students, but that it is crucial to invest in student-centered resources and programs that empower and support them to have the opportunities to flourish. These efforts, in combination with the university’s cutting-edge research and stellar faculty, work to solidify UC San Diego as one of the top-rated public research universities in the nation.”
校长Pradeep K. Khosla说:“这一享有声望的排名反映了我们各分校在塑造包容性未来方面所迈出的步伐。我们不仅认为高质量、可负担的教育应该对所有成绩优异的学生开放，而且至关重要的是投资以学生为中心的资源和项目，让他们有机会蓬勃发展。这些努力，结合大学的前沿研究和一流的师资力量，巩固了加州大学圣地亚哥分校作为美国一流的公立研究型大学的地位。”
Washington Monthly considered 1,469 colleges, including public, private nonprofit and for-profit institutions, across three equally weighted categories: social mobility, research and community and national service.
《华盛顿月刊》对1,469所大学进行了调查，其中包括公立、私立非营利机构和盈利性机构，调查对象分为三个同等权重的类别:社会流动性、研究和社区以及国民服务。
To be top-ranked, colleges needed to be excellent across all measures, not just one. Social mobility included measures such as overall graduation rates, the difference between actual and expected graduation rates, percentage of Pell Grant recipients and percentage of first-generation students, among other factors. Student involvement in the military, Peace Corps and AmeriCorps service were included as part of the community score, as well as federal work-study money spent on community service projects and voter engagement.
要想名列前茅，大学需要在所有指标上都很优秀，而不仅仅是一项指标。社会流动性包括总体毕业率、实际毕业率和预期毕业率之间的差异、佩尔助学金获得者的比例和第一代学生的比例等因素。学生参军军队、和平队和美国服务队，以及联邦政府用于社区服务项目和参与选民活动的勤工俭学资金，都被作为社区评分的一部分。
“The Washington Monthly ranking is significant because it was one of the first ranking systems to reward colleges based not on their prestige or exclusivity, but rather on what they do to make our country better,” said UC Riverside Chancellor Kim Wilcox.
加州大学河滨分校校长Kim Wilcox说:“《华盛顿月刊》的排名很重要，因为它是第一个奖励大学的排名系统，不是基于它们的声望或排他性，而是基于它们为我们国家做了什么。”
“These new rankings are especially important now, with mass unemployment, the inequalities exposed by COVID-19, and the nationwide protests against racial injustice,” Washington Monthly editors wrote.
《华盛顿月刊》的编辑写道:“在大规模失业、COVID-19以及全国范围内针对种族不平等的抗议活动的情况下，这些新的排名显得尤为重要。”
A bright spot in precarious times, UC remains a leader in preparing civic-minded young people to contribute to the public good. UC has also earned high praise this year for academic excellence in the 2020 Academic Ranking of World Universities and for alumni earnings in CNBC’s 2020 Make It rankings, in addition to its high placement in Money’s recent rankings on educational value.
在困难时期，加州大学是一个亮点，在培养有公益意识的年轻人为公共利益做贡献方面，加州大学仍然是一个领导者。今年，加州大学还因其在2020年世界大学学术排名中的卓越学术成绩和在CNBC的2020 Make It排名中的校友收入而赢得了高度赞扬，此外，加州大学在最近的Money教育价值排名中也占有很高的位置。
