ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural, and overall health of the communities it serves. Two decades ago, Arizona State University set forth a new and ambitious trajectory to become a comprehensive knowledge enterprise dedicated to the simultaneous pursuit of excellence, broad access to quality education, and meaningful societal impact. From that point forward, all its energy, creativity, and resources have been brought to bear on the design of a uniquely adaptive and transdisciplinary university committed to producing master learners. Today, ASU exemplifies a new prototype for the American public research university.
"As we prepare to launch our next campaign, I am seeking a true partner to help me lead Unit Development within the ASU Foundation. The Associate Vice President we hire will be fortunate to join an organization with a very strong culture. One where we care about our own success, but we care just as much about the success of our colleagues. A culture that is collaborative, supportive, and creative! If you are looking for an opportunity to do challenging and meaningful work in a successful organization with a healthy work environment, I hope you will engage to learn more about this opportunity." — Eric Spicer, Vice President, Unit Development
