ASU is ranked No. 2 in the U.S. for graduate employability, but our students aren't waiting until graduation to make an impact. At 19, sophomore Sebastian Matta has been elected Maricopa County Clerk of Superior Court. Congratulations, Sebastian! nytimes.com/2026/11/07/us/po…

On Monday, we gathered to celebrate the life and legacy of Lattie Coor, ASU's 15th president. His influence extended far beyond our university, helping shape a stronger Arizona. We are all better for his leadership and unwavering commitment to serving others.

Ten years ago, the Beus Center for Law and Society opened its doors in downtown Phoenix with a vision to expand access to law and justice. A decade later, I’m proud of what the @ASUCollegeOfLaw community has built and the impact it continues to make.

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. teapaw.org/SenMarkKelly/status/21…

When I flew off aircraft carriers and launched into space, we fixed problems before people got hurt. That's why I'm introducing the Make AI Work for Americans Act, which taxes the companies benefiting the most from AI and uses that money to invest in workers and give them more opportunities.
