Situated in a fast growing city, ASU has the ability to empower the Phoenix community by fueling social and economic development across the Valley. ASU wants to emphasize not only the proverbial quest for knowledge but also a quest for application of that knowledge. This means that students learn not only how to think, but also how to turn their ideas into action. Students for today’s world need to figure out how to build organizations, businesses, projects; how to think creatively; how to see opportunity amidst the chaos of our contemporary landscape. ASU also wants to support its faculty and staff to connect with the larger world, both in their courses and in their research. By matching investment capital with innovation, passion with pragmatic skill, and intellectual pursuits with business savvy, ASU is building programs that foster development to benefit the university, Phoenix and Arizona as a whole.
