ASU New Faculty Members 2023-2024 by Arizona State University

Welcome to Arizona State University As executive vice president and university provost, it is my honor to lead ASU’s Academic Enterprise and guide our academic community toward the realization of our ASU charter aspirations. In this current moment in history, our role as educators and scholars is particularly complex and rapidly evolving. What remains constant, however, is the transformational role our profession plays in preparing the next generation of leaders and driving solutions for a planet deeply in need. I commend you and thank you in advance for the many roles you will play as a new faculty member at ASU. You will help deepen your students’ knowledge of themselves and the world. You will contribute to solutions that advance your field and impact the lives of others. You will be called upon to be a force of positive change. And, you will be asked to be a mentor to your students and peers, guiding them through their ASU journey. At ASU, our faculty members do all of these things because we believe in the transformative power of higher education, and we believe ASU — with its commitment to inclusion and its global reputation for academic excellence — is positioned to deliver the change we aim to make in the world. My journey at ASU began as a first-generation undergraduate and it is where I returned to begin my academic and administrative career. Like you, I was once a new faculty member on our beautiful campus and I remember being so grateful for the opportunity that lay before me. ASU has always felt like a partner in designing my future, and I am grateful to now have the opportunity to help design its future as university provost. I hope that each of you feels this same sense of support and belonging as you grow with our community. Sincerely,

Nancy Gonzales Executive Vice President and University Provost

The design of this book is based on the architectural shapes found atop ASU’s Hayden Library. Built in 1966, an architectural feature of the library is the “beacon of knowledge” monument that serves as a historic centerpiece of ASU’s Tempe campus. Each evening “the beacon of knowledge” emits the light from the library below, signaling the knowledge it houses — nearly five million books. Like this structure, ASU’s excellence is centered on the knowledge that is transmitted from our talented faculty to all ASU students across generations. As a community of scholars, our role is to shed light on new ways of thinking, and to advance knowledge that inspires all at ASU to deepen our understanding of — and commitment to — the betterment of ourselves, our fellow human beings, our communities and the world we share.
