ASU measures itself by those it includes and how they succeed, not by those it excludes. ASU pursues research that contributes to the public good and assumes major responsibility for the economic, social and cultural vitality of the communities that surround it. In order to become that model for the New American University, ASU has undergone some radical changes over the last few years. Like many universities, it has added new buildings, hired new faculty and brought in new students. But, unlike many of its peers, ASU has also undertaken a massive reorganization of the institution. ASU has torn down walls between disciplines and encouraged collaboration among diverse units. ASU has altered the trajectory of the university and reevaluated the role that universities play in society, in the economy and in education at all levels. It has changed the relationship between ASU and the State of Arizona. ASU Enterprise Partners supports the evolution, development and success of Arizona State University and its mission.
