Weekly Federal Update Brief

July 23, 2025

Dear UC colleagues,

Last week, the University launched its new Alumni Outcomes Dashboard — a treasure trove of career-related data that demonstrates our graduates’ professional success and earnings at top companies across California and the country over the past 25 years. The data underscores the University’s role in advancing social mobility, building a highly skilled workforce, and fueling economic growth, all priorities that are central to current federal policy debates around the value of higher education and return on public investment. As Congress considers funding for the next federal fiscal year for things like federal student aid, research and health care programs, this dashboard is a timely reminder of the national impact and critical importance of UC’s mission. You can read more about this in our press release and LinkedIn post.  I invite you to explore the data on your own and share this success story with your networks.

Best,

Meredith Vivian Turner

  • UC Advocacy: This week, UC advocates took part in the annual 340B Health’s Summer Capitol Hill Fly-In to advocate on behalf of the 340B drug pricing program, which is aimed at helping eligible hospitals reduce medication prices. This is essential to the work UC Health does to provide health care to Californians with limited means and limited access to care.
