ICYMI, it's time to take @UCMerced seriously. Out of 584 eligible colleges and universities, UC Merced is #14 on @WSJ's 2026 Best Colleges in America rankings. These rankings are based on student outcomes, learning environment and diversity.
A section of the Wall Street Journal's 2026 Best Colleges in the U.S. list shows UC Merced as #14, with cutouts of students at graduation and UC Merced signage.

Last year, funding for @ucsandiego’s role in a 26-site Alzheimer’s study was unexpectedly terminated. Funding for science fuels breakthroughs. Without it, progress is at risk. Urge your lawmakers to vote YES on the California Science and Health Research Bond Act #SB895 to defend UC research and breakthroughs.
