Live a fulfilling life

The things you’ll learn, the community you’ll build and the opportunities you’ll explore at ASU will set you up for success not only in your career but in your life. Our goal is to prepare you to thrive in all aspects of your life, from your health to job satisfaction to community ties.

Happy. Successful. Fulfilled. Living the life they desire — that’s what we want for each member of our student and alumni family.

Jesse S. is a recreational fisherman with a PhD in biology from ASU. Now, as an assistant professor in the College of Global Futures, he’s changing the future of commercial fishing across the globe. Jesse and his students have developed an affordable solar-powered net that effectively saves protected sea life without compromising the profitability of fishing for communities that depend on the industry.

Shantel M. earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in justice studies from ASU’s School of Social Transformation, and received the Äänit Prize from the Mandela Rhodes Foundation. With the award, she will support an education project she founded in her home country of Zimbabwe that offers affordable preschool in underserved neighborhoods and helps students’ parents achieve financial sufficiency.

Trey L. graduated from ASU with three business degrees in global politics, law, and public service and public policy. After reviewing several job offers, he decided to accept a position with the U.S. Surgeon General where he is now the engagement chief of staff. He is a part of the office’s efforts to address youth mental health, community and connection, as well as the general public health in the U.S.

When we say our students are co-creators in their education journey at ASU, we mean it. Every student photo in this book depicts actual ASU students or alumni participating in real ASU experiences. It’s our goal to always tell a genuine, student-focused story about our university. We’re proud of and grateful for the many students who shared their unique stories in this book, including:
