Boilerplate Text

A boilerplate is a concise, standardized paragraph that provides key information about an institution, organization, or initiative, ensuring consistency in how we describe ourselves across various documents and platforms. Our boilerplate offers clear messaging and insight into our brand identity. This language should be used whenever a brief overview of the University of Arizona is needed, including at the end of press releases, on websites, and in some marketing materials.

The University of Arizona, a land-grant university with two independently accredited medical schools, ranks among the nation's top public universities, according to U.S. News & World Report. Established in 1885, the university is widely recognized as student-centric and has been designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. As a leading Research 1 institution, Arizona ranks in the top 20 among all public universities with more than $1 billion in annual research expenditures for FY24 submitted to the National Science Foundation. The university advances the frontiers of interdisciplinary scholarship and entrepreneurial partnerships as a member of the Association of American Universities, the 71 leading public and private research universities in the U.S. and Canada. It benefits the state with an estimated economic impact of $4.1 billion annually.

With an unwavering commitment to our land-grant mission, the Office of Research, Innovation & Impact (RII) expands the University of Arizona’s impact through research and innovation. We do this by providing strategic leadership, resources, connections, and support to faculty, students, and staff, enabling them to pursue groundbreaking discoveries, advance knowledge, commercialize technology, and address critical societal challenges in communities across Arizona and around the globe.
