All right, everyone, let’s now head over to ASU’s West Campus. It’s gorgeous over here. Here we have Nathaniel Gomez waiting. He’s a junior majoring in cybersecurity and he’s excited to talk about wellness here at ASU. Nathaniel, the floor is all yours.
Hello, everybody. I’m from El Paso, Texas, and I came at ASU because of the diversity. I wanted to learn and grow with people unique and different than myself. But I found myself staying because of the person I’m becoming. Throughout my time at ASU, I began noticing these buzzwords surrounding me on all four campuses. Things such as mindfulness, consciousness, and other aspects of wellness. This began to make me curious.
I remember meeting with my advisor for the first time and they asked how I was doing genuinely before even bringing up the topic of school. This, of course, was new to me. I was later assured that this is only natural to feel these types of feelings, but let alone this did not have to be the case. When I wasn’t doing or feeling my best, I was directed to counseling services, health services, and my favorite place, the Zen Den. Between my busy schedule and my busy mind stressing about school and plans, I would visit the Zen Den routinely to meditate, relax, and recollect myself. This actually helped me do better in classes, nurtured great relationships, and taught me what wellness is all about.
Now that I was feeling confident and ready mentally and internally, I wanted to feel better physically. I would visit the fitness center mostly because it was beautiful, but a friend of mine invited me to an evening yoga class which introduced a new ease that I had not known before. I later started coming more into these instructed workouts and grew a relationship with these instructors. Between meditating, learning about nutrition and my body, I made some beautiful and meaningful friends that helped motivate me and enhanced my experience on campus. Even in classes, you’re asked to be mindful. Instructors know college can be difficult, so they work with you. Faculty and staff value you and your growth and know your health is top priority.
I think with this kind of support, it’s allowed me to be the happiest I’ve ever been. With a healthy mind and spirit, it’s allowed me to really appreciate the Sun Devil Fitness Center, where I can go and get a nutrition plan, personal trainer, and even instructed workouts. My parents feel a lot more comfortable knowing that this is accessible to me. I feel more comfortable knowing that they will invite me and all that I am with kindness and solutions. Alex, that’s my story on wellness. Take it back.
Nathaniel. Wow, that was cool. We appreciate you opening up and telling us what ASU is doing to keep wellness in the forefront of students’ lives here. By the way, I need to come to that meditation Zen Den.
Okay, everyone, now we’re heading over to McLane Stadium, Baylor’s football stadium that sits along the Brazos River. There, we’ll meet up with Adan De La Garza. He just graduated with his degree from Baylor in corporate communications, and is now working on his master’s in strategic management and consulting. Adan can’t wait to tell us all about Baylor Athletics, and I think he might just have a special guest with him. If you’re a fan of college athletics, you’re certainly gonna want to watch this. Adan, please take it away.
Thanks, Alex. Hi, everyone. Baylor University is a member of the Big 12 Conference, and is home to 19 Division I sports, 26 club sports, and 17 intramural sports. You may have heard our Baylor men’s basketball team recently snagged the title of 2021 national champions, while our women’s team claimed that same title back in 2019. Our women’s acrobatics and tumbling team have also earned the title of national champions for six consecutive years now. I’m with Baylor’s 2021 national championship-winning men’s basketball coach, Scott Drew, here, to talk to you about some of the amazing experiences students will encounter with athletics. Well, first and foremost, we wouldn’t have this trophy if it wasn’t for our great students and the environment they provide all our athletics. In fact, 14 out of 17 of our sports were ranked in the top 25, in large part because of the students and the great environment they provide. We need future generations, and the next students to be just as loud so we can keep winning trophies like this. Thanks, Coach Drew, and Sic ’em, Bears. Another amazing aspect of Baylor Athletics is our impressive McLane Stadium, where the Bears play football. McLane is one of only three waterfront stadiums in the entire nation. One of our most exciting game day traditions is the Baylor Line, which is a truly one-of-a-kind experience where you and 3,000 of your closest friends, i.e. the entire freshmen class, are gonna come over here in your golden Baylor Line jerseys. You’re gonna storm the field with your entire class, all while 50,000 people are gonna be cheering for you. The sun will be high, the music will be loud, and the adrenaline will be pumping through you. Once you reach the other side of the field, you’ll form a human tunnel for the Baylor football team to run through, and after that, you and your entire class will fill in the first 12 rows of golden bleachers, specifically reserved for Baylor University freshmen. We call these the best seats in the house because you’re situated right behind the opposing team, where you can yell really encouraging and nice things at them throughout the entire game, and just let ’em know it’s okay to lose. If competing is what you love, feel free to join any one of our clubs sports here. I love the rowing team, one, because I’ve been with them for eight semesters, and two, because I’m an assistant coach. We practice right here on the Brazos and compete against Big 12 Conference schools, as well as other schools across the nation. Baylor offers everything from rowing to rugby to water polo, and no prior experience is required to join any of these. And to top it all off, all athletic events for Baylor University students are free to attend. All you have to do is swipe your ID and you’re good to go. At Baylor, we have world-class athletics, world-class students, and world-class experiences that all come together to make your time here just that much more special. Thank you for letting me share my favorite parts about Baylor Athletics. Now back to you, Alex.
Great job, Adan. You absolutely put the fan in Baylor fanatic, and getting a chance to meet Coach Drew and hearing about the amazing experience of running with the Baylor Line was so cool. Thanks again for that, Adan. Take care.
All right, folks, let’s check out another aspect of Baylor University that makes it truly unique. We’re gonna meet up with Aidan. She’s a junior double majoring in human resource management and Spanish. Aidan can’t wait to introduce you to two of her favorite Baylor bears who are always hanging out on campus. Aidan, you are on.
Thanks, Alex. I’m standing in front of the Bill & Eva Williams Bear Habitat, which is a class C zoo located in the heart of Baylor’s campus. Inside, we have some of the most memorable individuals of the Baylor community, two North American black bears named Lady and Joy. They are biological sisters from Oregon, and are 19 and 20 years old, respectively. Lady and Joy are taken care of by a student group on campus called the Baylor Chamber of Commerce, or Baylor Chamber, for short. This organization has been caring for Baylor’s bears for over 100 years, and they do a remarkable job. The bears eat twice a day. Once in the morning, and once in the evening. Their primary diet consists of raw meats, fruits, and vegetables, but I’ve occasionally seen them enjoy peanut butter inside their toys. Both Lady and Joy are trained to do the Baylor Sic ’em, which is a natural movement for them in the wild when pulling leaves and berries from low-hanging branches. In fact, Lady is left-pawed, and the only one allowed to do a Sic ’em with her left hand, because every Baylor Bear knows a Sic ’em, the symbol of spirit used at athletic events and other celebrations, is traditionally done with the right hand. I’ve stopped by the Bear Habitat many times to see a member of the Chamber conduct training routines with the bears to evaluate their health and provide mental stimulation. Just a few weeks ago, I spoke with a trainer who explained the importance of Lady and Joy’s oral hygiene. Bears can get cavities, too. To demonstrate this, he motioned for Joy to open her mouth widely for inspection. Not only was I impressed by her sharp teeth, but I was reminded that these exercises ensure that the bears are healthy and content. As a student, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having live bears on campus. This habitat is a serene place to come visit and take my mind off of school-related activities. When they were cubs, Lady and Joy were able to walk the grounds of the university with members of the Chamber. Now that they’re older and bigger, they have a special playground outside of town where they periodically go to enjoy outdoor activities. It’s special to have Lady and Joy so close to us. They bring the student body together, and mark another unique aspect of the Baylor family. That’s all from the Bear Habitat. What’s next, Alex?
Wow, Aidan, that was fun! It was great to hear about Baylor’s live bears and their home on campus. It sounds like they’re really members of the Baylor family, and are well cared for and loved, which is awesome. I mean, you even throw ’em birthday parties, for crying out loud. How fun is that? Thanks again for letting us meet Joy and Lady. Take care, Aidan.
Next, we’re headed to the home of Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business to meet up with Dr. Jonathan Tran. He teaches in the religion department and the Honors College, and he’s excited to share about what compels him to invest in his students, and how the student-teacher relationship at Baylor adds to the student experience. Dr. Tran, you are up.
Thank you, Alex. I’m here at the Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation, home of Baylor’s nationally-ranked business school, and one of the top 10 entrepreneurship programs in the country, and I want to give you a professor’s perspective on life at Baylor. There are so many things I love about being on the Baylor faculty. The university does a ton of stuff to support my research as an ethicist, and the campus is chock-full of super smart people doing important, interesting, and innovative research. And who doesn’t like being part of a school with a world-class athletics program? It’s great to have students in your classroom who also excel on the national stage. But, really, what makes teaching at Baylor great are the students. The university has a long tradition of creating amazing experiences in the classroom. There, we bat around ideas that have huge implications for us and the world in which we find ourselves. As a society, we have so many challenges in front of us. We’re learning more and more every day about the challenges and complexities that come with an increasingly globalized world. When I think about the problems, on their own, they can be overwhelming, but when I think about what students are doing to meet these challenges head-on with their dreams, their passions, and their dedication, I think to myself, this is what Baylor is here for. Learning all of this can be a lot, and Baylor is well-known for its academic rigor, but as students begin to put it together and imagine the impact they can have on the world, it becomes all worth it. As an undergraduate moves through her undergraduate education, the university comes alongside her with all these remarkable resources, either for career-planning or helping her get a job or preparing for education at the next level. Baylor has so many outstanding resources, and all the state-of-the-art facilities that come with them, certainly in business and computer science and engineering, and we also produce a bunch of students headed to the frontlines as medical care providers. We also have outstanding programs in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. It’s the combination of the kind of student that comes to Baylor and the faculty committed to developing their dreams that makes for a truly transformative education. This is absolutely the kinda stuff that gets me out of bed in the morning. I love these students. I love what they’re doing, what they’re thinking through, what they’re dreaming about. It’s amazing to be a part of their lives as they grow into the kind of people that will change our world. Now back to you, Alex.
Dr. Tran, that was great. It sounds like you really have a passion for helping your students achieve their goals. I bet anyone would enjoy taking one, or even two or three of your classes. Keep up the good work, and thanks again.
Alright folks, next we’re gonna head over to meet Gabby. She’s a senior studying choral music education. And she’s going to tell us all about Baylor student life outside of the classroom. Okay Gabby, it’s all yours!
Thanks, Alex! Hi Everyone. I want you to know that student life at Baylor is unmatched! With over 350 student organizations at Baylor, there is something for everybody. Now I know that sounds overwhelming, but that’s why we have this awesome event called Late Night where every club, organization, and team is showcased so students can learn about them. Personally, I am in the Baylor chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, Baylor A Cappella Choir, the Pi Mu chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., and Baylor VirtuOSO — Baylor’s premier, pop/jazz A Cappella group. I especially love the creativity I get to explore with Virtuoso because, as students, we arrange and compose most of our numbers. Many of the organizations I’ve joined fuel my love of performing, and I’ve made lifelong friends within these groups. At Baylor, we also have Greek Life! About 30% of our students are in a sorority or fraternity, and there are 40 international, national, and local Greek organizations, including the Panhellenic and National Panhellenic Council. Now it’s important to note that Baylor does Greek life a little different. Freshmen don’t rush until Spring semester, giving students the opportunity to experience college life for a semester, make friends, and really get to know which organization might suit them best. Our Greek organizations also throw fun events for the whole university to enjoy such as Kappa Karnival and Delta Night Live. Every sorority, fraternity, and any other organizations who want to enter can participate in one of my favorite events — All University Sing, the largest off Broadway-style musical production you’ll ever see! Service to our community is also a part of student life. As Baylor Bears, we know it’s important to be good neighbors to our fellow Wacoans. Students interested in serving the Waco community can participate in Steppin’ Out – an event that happens twice a year where thousands of Baylor students collectively engage in community service throughout the day. This event allows Bears to give back to our neighbors who support Baylor in countless ways. Something that is very important to me is diversity and, here at Baylor, it is taken seriously. We have students at Baylor from all 50 US states and more than 90 countries. My favorite event on campus is Mosaic Mixer put on by our department of Multicultural Affairs, where all the cultural and ethnic sororities, fraternities, clubs, and organizations gather for one event. There is a showcase full of stepping, dancing, and singing from people of all different cultures and backgrounds. Speaking of which, Baylor has a residence hall dedicated solely to promoting diversity. It’s part of a group of living learning communities that are formed around similar interests or majors. The Baylor and Beyond Living Learning Center is housed in North Russell Hall, and students from very diverse backgrounds do life together. If you want to try a different country’s food every night and meet people of all different backgrounds, North Russell is the place for you. The campus hosts all kinds of activities throughout the year. You can attend events and lectures, musical performances, theater productions, art shows, outdoor festivals and can enjoy celebrations from a variety of other cultures – like Lunar New Year, Festival Latino, Gateway to India, Holi Festival and Kente Ceremony. There is something for everyone here at Baylor and everyone belongs, no matter what. Find your place here at Baylor, find your home! What’s up next, Alex?
Gabby….thank you! That was fantastic. Baylor really does have so many ways for students with all kinds of interests to get involved. Your story about finding your place at Baylor with your Virtuoso friends was phenomenal. What a cool experience! Thanks again, Gabby.
It’s now time for our final student here at ASU. Let’s get over to Changemaker Central and meet up with Trey Leveque. Trey is triple majoring in business law, business global politics, and business public service and public policy. And he’s gonna talk to us about lifelong learning at ASU and the many options for a universal learner here on campus or online. Trey, please take it away.
Hey, everyone. I decided to come to ASU for three main reasons. The first being I was able to connect a lot of the majors I wanted to pursue with passions that I have. The second being the amazing opportunities that are provided through Barret, the Honors College. And last but not least, the financial resources that I was able to receive coming into the university.
Coming into college, I wanted to be involved in a wide variety of clubs and organizations. I immediately got involved in organizations within the W.P. Carey School of Business, such as the Dean’s Advisory Council and the Business Ambassadors program. I also got involved in service-based clubs and organizations such as Changemaker Central, where I worked on their service team to plan monthly dates of service for ASU students. I also helped execute ASU’s largest day of service called Devils in Disguise.
As a Sun Devil, I’ve also been extremely supported in my journey of pursuing internships in the public, private, and nonprofit sector. One of my passions is higher education access and equity. My senior year of high school, I was extremely fortunate to be selected to join former First Lady Michelle Obama’s higher education initiative called Reach Higher as one of their 13 inaugural student advisory board members. After my first year of college, I continued my work with Reach Higher as one of their summer fellows in Washington, DC. In this role, I was able to support students of low income, minority, and first generation background pursue higher education and graduate from college.
These internships have taught me that it’s important to learn not only inside the classroom, but also outside the classroom, and have been a huge part of my journey of becoming a lifelong learner. This is only the beginning though, because I know my education doesn’t end the day I graduate. As a lifelong learner, I know I will be continuing to learn and grow throughout my professional career. ASC provides us so many opportunities for individuals at any age to be able to further their education through programs such as New Pathways, ASU Local, and enrollment partners such as Starbucks and Uber. There are also countless resources that ASE provides to facilitate lifelong learning, such as ASU for You, a set of digital educational resources for learners of all ages.
There’s also ASU Prep Digital, which is an accredited full-time online K-12 school, and Mirabella, a unique retirement experience where lifelong learners can engage in an intergenerational community fueled by the love of learning. It’s a new paradigm in senior living, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this exciting movement. Overall, these are all amazing opportunities and resources for any learner, from any background, at any stage in life. Whether you wanna move up in your company or if you just wanna learn a new skill, lifelong learning is for everyone. Join us as we become the next generation of lifelong learners. Throwing it back to you, Alex.
Trey, that was awesome. Great job. Your story is absolutely incredible. What you’re doing here through the university is just outstanding. Thank you for sharing your story. Take care, Trey.
We are now gonna head back to ASU’s Downtown Phoenix Campus by Thunderbird’s new global headquarters. Here, we have Pauline waiting for us. Pauline has an awesome story, everyone, and she’s gonna share that story and the unbelievable global mindset and impact ASU has on the world. Pauline, take it away.
Hi, everybody. I am so excited to share my story and my experience with you all. My name is Pauline Nalumansi. I was born and raised in Uganda. I come from a rural community and a family that never believed in educating a girl child, but guess what? I was determined to get that education and be the first girl in my family to be educated.
ASU and Thunderbird School of Global Management gave me the opportunity to interact with students, staff, and faculty from different countries and backgrounds. And that gave me that opportunity to learn a new language, to test different kinds of food, as well as learning a different culture. It’s like I get to travel around the world, but doing it here in one location. Thunderbird is the champion of a global mindset. ASU gave me the opportunity to participate in causes that I care about. For example, the Global Consulting Lab that gives students the opportunity to study and work in other countries with local companies. My team and I traveled to Ecuador and worked with Heifer International.
My favorite experience was interacting and meeting with the native Ecuadorian women that raised alpaca animals. It was surprising that their food and culture and way of living is very similar to my home culture. Access to unlimited resources, funds, and mentorship is another opportunity ASU gave me to engage in causes that I care about. ASU’s packed my passion for social entrepreneurship. Since I started my own nonprofit, The Pauline Foundation, I have participated in over six pitch competitions at ASU and Thunderbird, winning over $10,000 in funding. It gives me so much joy to know that ASU is allowing people like myself and others to thrive and to achieve our dreams. For future Thunderbird students, you’ll be studying in a brand new building being built right now here in downtown Phoenix.
My experience at ASU and Thunderbird made me realize that we live in a globalized world. We are citizens of the world, and you can make a difference wherever you are. You will develop a global mindset. Your entrepreneurship spirit will be enlightened. And expect to meet people from all walks of life. Alex, back to you.
Pauline, that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story. What you are doing through ASU and Thunderbird is absolutely incredible. The world needs more people just like you. That was awesome. Bye, Pauline.
Okay, let’s head over to the center of Tempe’s campus to meet Marcus. He has a great story and is gonna speak about veteran support and community here at Arizona State University Marcus, you’re up.
Ya’at’eeh. That means hello in Navajo. I’m a Navajo Nation citizen, I’m a United States Air Force veteran, and I’m an Arizona State University Sun Devil, so go Devils. Currently, I’m pursuing my doctoral degree in civil environmental and sustainable engineering. My research is in exploring and developing capacity in construction management education and training for rural areas and on tribal lands.
I arrived at ASU as a 30-year-old sophomore transfer student. I didn’t know anyone nor was I familiar with the area. It was exciting and scary all at once. I never thought I’d be a student at a state university, even more unbelievable as one as large as ASU. The most exciting first moments that I remember was stepping foot in the campus fitness center and seeing Sparky on the floor and everywhere, even on the weights. My second moment was finishing my very first class. It was real. I am a Sun Devil. What was missing was friends. So I started searching for others like me.
So who am I? I’m a 30-year-old Air Force veteran who found my way back to school. I needed to find others like me. ASU’s Pat Tillman Veterans Center hosts welcome events and academic and career development programs specifically designed for military and military affiliated service members. This is where we meet each other. They create an environment for student veterans to transition into their academic careers. Here’s where it all begins. Many student veterans become CEOs, entrepreneurs, presidents of nonprofit organizations, researchers, and professors. I’ve made lifelong friends who are like family, just like we did in the military, only now our mission is education.
One thing I wish I had known before I got out of the service was that ASU has full online degree programs. The same award-winning professors that teach here on campus are the same professors that teach these degrees online. You can access and start your higher education career from anywhere in the world. And talking about my experience here at ASU, I have to say it has been exceptional. I work here and I study here. This institution has provided me with the opportunity to work with tribal nations and the construction industry nationwide.
Because of ASU and working with student veterans, I’ve been invited to the White House to discuss Native American veteran issues. I’ve met members of Congress, members of the Cabinet, State leaders, and higher education professionals to talk about Native American student issues today. I wake up every day thankful that I get paid to work with tribes, that I get to do research here with leading experts in my field of study, and I get to do it all here at ASU. And back to you, Alex.
Marcus, that was fantastic. First off, thank you for your service. And it is awesome to hear how ASU is supporting veterans and helping so many accomplish their dreams. That was great. Thanks again, Marcus.
Okay, everyone. Let’s now head over to the design buildings at ASU. Jessica Hollock is a senior studying architecture here, and she’s excited to share with everyone what a growth mindset is all about at Arizona State University. Jessica, please take it away.
Hi, everyone. I’ve always had the desire to design and knew that ASU would be the one to help me find my niche. What I love about my experience so far is to be able to grow into the person I am today and the amazing relationships I’ve developed in this community. One of the things that everyone constantly experiences throughout their lifetime is growth. And at ASU growth, is something that they excel in teaching. From student-run organizations to professors, there are many people in the community who are here to root you on in this challenging stage of your life.
For me, knowing that this major can get difficult at times, it’s great to know that I have friends and faculty to lean on. I get advice from friends in the Latinx Student Architecture Organization, along with critiques from faculty like Marc Neveu. Knowing that it’s okay to fail is a key factor to succeeding here in the Design School at ASU. Our classwork consists of developing projects until we are confident in our outcomes. I have been able to create conducive study habits, a great work ethic, and a network beyond my expectations.
The biggest thing I love about my architecture major is the models we make. They are like no other. And I always get excited to put that last piece on. When I really get into a project, I never wanna stop until it’s done because I get so personally invested in it. Although it can be exhausting at times, when you’re over that hill and you can see the end, it’s one of the most relieving feelings ever. And anyone in the Design School can tell you that. Not only does my resilience show in my schoolwork, but also my social life. I was able to translate this passion of mine into a role in a student-run organization called the 942 Crew as the design committee chair. In this role, I am in charge of getting designs developed for everything graphics, assisting in marketing strategies, and organizing committee functions.
College has taught me more than just having a strong work ethic and having resilience in my schoolwork. It’s also taught me to go into every situation with a positive mindset and take every opportunity as a challenge. This means anything that comes my way in the future is unknown, yet anything is possible and I’m ready for it. Alex, back to you.
Jessica, Great job. Thank you for sharing your personal story and journey here. What you’re doing in the world of design is fascinating. Thanks again. Cheers, Jessica.
ASU is so inclusive and strives to be accessible to students everywhere. In fact, they offer more than 200 degrees 100% online taught by the same award-winning faculty team that’s here on Campus. So let’s meet up with Emily Vance. She’s a senior majoring in photography and has an awesome story about how ASU’s access to education has literally changed her life. Emily, please take it away.
Hey, everyone. Although it has taken me a decade to get to the finish line, I am so excited that graduation is just around the corner. I always told myself that as an artist, I didn’t need to go to college, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Arizona State University has provided me with so many amazing opportunities and I couldn’t be where I am today without them.
I first began my journey with ASU Online in the summer of 2014, soon after ASU launched their program with Starbucks. My then boyfriend, now husband, and I were both working as baristas. Although we had both completed some college, due to financial restraints, we couldn’t finish our degrees. But I began chipping away at my degree slowly but surely. And due to the crazy busy schedule of work and planning a wedding, I was able to take just one class at a time. I always strive to say yes to every new adventure, so when a once in a lifetime opportunity came up, we jumped on it.
Because of the flexibility of ASU’s online program, we were able to relocate from Washington to a teeny, tiny town in Kansas to live on my family’s farm for a year. Had we both been enrolled in on-campus learning, we never would have been able to make such a drastic change. Fast forward a few months on the farm, and we finally got to visit Tempe, Arizona for the very first time for my husband’s graduation. The moment the plane landed, we felt a sense of belonging. Arizona was where we needed to be. Luckily my husband Mark was in the process of applying for grad school, and ASU was at the top of his list. So in the summer of 2018, we packed up again and moved right here to Arizona.
Although we loved our time at Starbucks, it was time to move on and focus on our careers. We both found on-campus student jobs that made the move so much easier, and both were a lot more relevant to our career goals. Once we moved here, so many amazing things began to happen. Mark completed his Master’s degree and is now working on his PhD. And so many doors started to open for me. Although I was taking a full course load, I was able to head to Disneyland twice to work as a volunteer photographer with Together we Rise, an organization that helps kids in the foster care system.
From there, I found the confidence to launch the Mask Portrait Project, a collection of portraits that highlight the importance of masking up. And with ASU’s help, I was able to work with the mayor of Tempe and Phoenix, and we’ve been published over two dozen times. Today, I am just months away from graduating, something I never would have imagined when I left high school.
I’ve never been more proud to be a Sun Devil or more excited about my future. There’s something so magical about living in the desert and having such an amazing support system. ASU really does have your best interest at heart and they will do everything in their power to help you succeed. I can’t thank them enough for all the amazing opportunities they’ve provided for both myself and my husband. All right, Alex, that’s my story. Back to you.
Emily, that was great. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s amazing all the ways ASU helps each and every student here succeed.
