Eight design aspirations guide ASU’s transformation.
ASU urges its students, faculty, staff and programs to:
01. Leverage Our Place
ASU embraces its cultural, socioeconomic and physical setting.
02. Transform Society
ASU catalyzes social change by being connected to social needs.
03. Value Entrepreneurship
ASU uses its knowledge and encourages innovation.
04. Conduct Use-Inspired Research
ASU research has purpose and impact.
05. Enable Student Success
ASU is committed to the success of each unique student.
06. Fuse Intellectual Disciplines
ASU creates knowledge by transcending academic disciplines.
07. Be Socially Embedded
ASU connects with communities through mutually beneficial partnerships.
08. Engage Globally
ASU engages with people and issues locally, nationally and internationally.
By employing these strategies in our work, we’ve accomplished a great deal.
Already, ASU has built a new physical and intellectual environment for learning and discovery. ASU has changed the community of people who inhabit that environment. And ASU has rewritten the objectives for the people in that environment as well as for the institution as a whole.
By breaking the mold, ASU has become a place where local solutions have global impact.
