\n For the first time in 40 years, retiring Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California will not be returning to Congress in January.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has learned where she will direct her legendary energy \u2014 at the University of California, Berkeley, which is creating the Nancy Pelosi Institute. The institute, dedicated to research, learning and civic engagement, is slated to open in January 2027.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think all of us in public service who have an opportunity to do so, want to use our experience to train leaders for the future,\u201d Pelosi said in a phone interview.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI viewed this as a liberation for me from the political, not politics, but partisanship. Because you\u2019re going to an academic institution. It\u2019s about what our founders had in mind with our Constitution, and it\u2019s a beautiful story to tell,\u201d she said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The former House speaker said a group of administrators and about eight professors at Berkeley approached her almost a year ago with the idea of the Nancy Pelosi Institute. She said she was complimented and, even, \u201cdazzled\u201d by the proposal, but also surprised \u2014 so much so that she took some time before agreeing to go forward.\n <\/p>\n

\n What intrigued Pelosi the most, she said, was the notion of a bipartisan academic center at Berkeley, \u201cthe epitome of public education,\u201d with a concentration on issues she spent her decadeslong political career focused on.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI loved it because they talked about human rights in the US and in the world, talking about and addressing the challenges to our democracy, talking about challenges of the climate and economic income inequity,\u201d Pelosi, 86, said.\n <\/p>\n

\n After hearing their ideas, Pelosi agreed to raise $25 million before the announcement, which the famously prodigious fundraiser said she did \u201cquite easily.\u201d The university said in a press release that this is a $50 million campaign.\n <\/p>\n

\n Unlike other academic institutes or eponymous endeavors, Pelosi said this will not be a \u201cbrick-and-mortar thing\u201d but rather \u201cprogrammatic.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n She was asked: You won\u2019t see \u201cNancy Pelosi Institute\u201d on a building?\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI hope not,\u201d she replied with a laugh.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey have classrooms, they have auditoriums, they have theaters,\u201d she added.\n <\/p>\n

\n While Pelosi\u2019s papers from her time as speaker of the House are at the Library of Congress, she said the institute will display of some of the awards she received, the legislation she helped pass, and, maybe, even some \u201cpersonal effects\u201d to make it \u201cfun and interesting to get people there.\u201d This exhibit is slated to open in spring of 2027.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s about technology. Anything you wany to convey, you can convey technologically. It doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t want physical evidence so that people have excitement about seeing the original \u2026 but people want to know how these things happened more than what they were exactly,\u201d Pelsoi said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The California congresswoman said she will bring high-profile people from both parties to visit and lecture at Berkeley, and that she will even co-teach a class with professor Eric Schickler, a leading scholar on Congress.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf you\u2019re trying to engage another generation to prepare them for the future, you must listen to them. That\u2019s the exciting part of it.\u201d Pelosi said.\n <\/p>\n

\n To be sure, the two-time House speaker still has this November\u2019s elections on her mind, saying, unsolicited, that \u201cwe\u2019re going to win the House,\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m so proud of what I leave behind, and how they go on to what\u2019s next,\u201d Pelosi said.\n <\/p>\n
