IRVINE, Calif., May 12, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM) today announced that Dr. Henry Samueli, the company's Chairman, Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer, has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Dr. Samueli was among 178 new Fellows and 24 Foreign Honorary Members elected by the prestigious American Academy. The 202 men and women are world-renowned leaders in scholarship, business, the arts, and public affairs.
In announcing the new Fellows, Academy President Patricia Meyer Spacks said, "I am honored to welcome these outstanding and influential individuals to the nation's oldest and most illustrious learned society. These new members have made extraordinary contributions to their fields and disciplines through their commitment to the advancement of scholarly and creative work in every field and profession."
Election to the Academy, founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock and other scholar-patriots, has always been one of the highest honors in the United States. The Academy has elected as Fellows and Foreign Honorary Members the finest minds and most influential leaders from each generation, including George Washington and Ben Franklin in the eighteenth century, Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the nineteenth, and Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill in the twentieth.
The unique structure of the American Academy allows the Academy to conduct interdisciplinary studies on international security, social policy, education, and the humanities that draw on the range of academic and intellectual disciplines of its members. The current membership of over 4,500 includes more than 150 Nobel laureates and 50 Pulitzer Prize winners.
Dr. Samueli will join this year's other new Fellows and Foreign Honorary Members at the American Academy's annual induction ceremony in October in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
