This year’s ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2025) was held from April 26 to May 1 in Yokohama, Japan. A large contingent of iSchool faculty and students was in attendance to present research and connect with others in the field of human-computer interaction.

This year’s Capstone Poster Session was a tour de force of impressive projects, featuring over 150 presentations from undergraduate and graduate students alike. Posters presented ranged from master’s theses and library practica to professional experience projects and focused research reports.

U.S. News & World Report released new nationwide rankings of library and information studies graduate programs. The iSchool's MSIS program maintained its tradition of excellence in these and other head-to-head rankings, placing in a tie for sixth out of 56 programs assessed.

Join us in celebrating a significant recognition of the iSchool’s global leadership: In QS’s newly released World University Rankings by Subject 2025: Library & Information Management, the University of Texas School of Information ranks #5 globally and #3 in the United States.

Professor Matthew Lease, who has taught at the School of Information (iSchool) since 2009, has been recognized with two “Test of Time” awards. These awards recognize the enduring impact of research papers published over a decade ago. Congratulations on this significant accomplishment, Dr. Lease!
