Join us as we celebrate this year’s Founders’ Day honorees

Join us as we celebrate this year’s Founders’ Day…

February 10, 2022
by RJ Hamster

We’ve come far. We’ll go further.

This past year as a community, we cheered as NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars with the ASU-led camera system Mastcam-Z on board. We completed our 1 millionth COVID-19 test, commemorating a massive effort to address a global pandemic. And we achieved milestones in sustainability, like finishing the first global map of coral reefs to tackle biodiversity loss.

This is ASU — a university that started with just four classrooms and now ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for innovation, sustainability and global impact.

On Thursday, March 17 at 6 p.m. PST, join ASU President Michael M. Crow and the ASU Alumni Association as we honor this year’s innovators and changemakers at the 2022 Founders’ Day celebration. Hear their stories and meet the distinguished alumni, faculty and philanthropists who have made significant contributions that drive the future of ASU and the world.
