From agency to enterprise
ASU is one of the largest public universities in the nation, recognized for leading innovation and sustainability in higher education. To advance its model to become the New American University, a collaborative approach between ASU’s three enterprises – Academic, Learning and Knowledge – leads the university now and into the future.
We do this by bringing together an ecosystem of public enterprise units that elevate the work across partnerships, technology and strategic development.
