Dear USF Community,
In new rankings released this morning by U.S. News & World Report, I鈥檓 delighted to share that the 91社区 has reached its highest position in our institution鈥檚 history!
USF now ranks No. 42 among all public universities and No. 97 among all public and private universities, which is the first time we鈥檝e made the top 100. We continue to hold the distinction of America's fastest-rising university, as no other university in the country has risen more in the rankings than USF over the past 10 years.
These achievements would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our talented faculty, staff, and students. It is because of you that we have lots to be proud of at USF.
While we should take a moment to celebrate our place in the rankings, I鈥檓 reminded that it鈥檚 many of the steps we鈥檙e taking on our path to becoming a top-25 public university that are most important. Among the factors U.S. News considers are measurements of student success and faculty excellence, which directly align with key goals in USF鈥檚 strategic plan.
Thank you for your commitment to our university鈥檚 success and pushing our community forward.
In Bull Pride,
Rhea F. Law
President
