The American experiment is extraordinary, and each generation has a responsibility to keep it moving forward.
I enjoyed speaking with @WalterIsaacson about our founding ideals, the power of words and the future of American democracy — recap of the event:
Improving the health of our communities is a shared responsibility. ASU is proud to work alongside St. Vincent de Paul and our partners to expand access to quality care and new learning and service opportunities for the next generation of health professionals.
It was a pleasure to host Jon Meacham for a conversation about America at 250, the lessons of our history and the work still ahead. Understanding our history is essential to thinking about the country we want to become. Recap of the event: ow.ly/P6Va50ZVasV
I’ve been reflecting on a conversation I had last summer with will.i.am about learning in the age of AI.
AI can share information faster than ever, but learning still depends on the questions we ask. Watch the entire session here: aiforgood.itu.int/michael-cr…
Looking back on a memorable evening at Drapers’ Hall, where we gathered to explore how education, creativity, sport and technology can create meaningful change.
Through #ASUChangingFutures, we’re working to turn that ambition into lasting impact.
As AI transforms how we work, we need to be equally focused on expanding the opportunities people have to learn, adapt and succeed. I appreciate Sen. Mark Kelly advancing this important conversation. xitter.cf/SenMarkKelly/status/21…

One week from today, I’ll join Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham for a conversation about 250 years of the American experiment, what history can teach us about moments of profound change and what comes next.
I hope you’ll join us — RSVP here: ow.ly/t5t650ZPR4a
Kicked off the semester by visiting with colleagues at our fall Academic Assembly and honoring our 2026 President's Professors. Our amazing faculty are dedicated to student success, comprehensive excellence and meaningful impact.
What a way to wrap up a week in London!
After celebrating the official opening of ASU London, we were at Wembley Stadium as @ASUFootball took on Kansas in the first major U.S. college football game played on British soil. Go Devils! 😈🔱 ow.ly/8KiZ50ZPr37
Appreciated the thoughtful conversation with @TheEconomist about the future of higher education, the role of AI in advancing learning, ASU London and more. A great opportunity to discuss where #HigherEd is headed and how we can design for what comes next.
ASU London is officially open.
Founded by ASU, it represents a new approach to higher education built around innovation, project-based learning and global connection. Excited to see what its first class of students will accomplish. ow.ly/sju850ZOvAl
