Innovative Initiatives & Priority Outcomes

“I skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” – Wayne Gretzy

We focus our effort and energy on the future to ensure the ASU System is ready to meet it and work to expand our collective impact through our constellation of higher education institutions.

We are committed to value creation for our current, prospective, and potential end-user consumers through learning and experience.
