The ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ® recently was ranked highly among its global peers in both the U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities and the QS World University Rankings. Both rankings were released in mid-June. According to U.S. News, the ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ®is No. 12 in the world on the 2026-27 rankings, No. 3 among U.S. public institutions. The ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ®also placed in the top 10 globally in six subject areas. On the QS World University Rankings, the ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ®is among the top 100, landing at No. 92, or No. 7 among U.S. public universities.

Seven ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ® students and recent alumni were awarded Fulbright U.S. Student Program scholarships for the 2026–27 academic year, joining about 2,000 students and recent graduates from around the country to pursue graduate study, conduct research and teach English abroad.

The ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ® today announced the selection of Studio Joseph as the exhibition and storytelling partner for the Ana Mari Cauce Welcome Center. Based in New York, Studio Joseph is known for its nuanced understanding of brand expression and its skill in co‑creating environments that are both inspiring and authentic to the institutions they represent. 

A new study doubles the evolutionary history of the weasel family. Researchers, including Chris Law, a ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ®principal research scientist in the biology department, have determined that a fossil that was discovered in Spain belongs to a new species dating back to around 6.5 million years ago. This new species was likely similar in size to the smallest living weasel species today, the least weasel.

As judges across the United States face growing political pressure, public attacks and threats to their personal safety, the ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ® School of Law will host a national symposium on April 17 and 18 to examine how to protect America’s independent federal judiciary and the rule of law.
