The Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute (HWNI) at the University of California, Berkeley was created in 1997 as the Center for Neuroscience. It was renamed in 2000, in recognition of the $10 million bequest from tennis champion and Berkeley alumna Helen Wills, who won 31 Grand Slam titles, including 19 in singles.[1][2]
