Alumni and Friends of Arizona State University,

You are essential in advancing the university’s commitment to serve all qualified individuals who desire a high-quality higher education that is among the best in the nation. We know they, in turn, will have a tremendous impact on their communities and the world as they put their ASU education and experience to work. Not every university makes this promise.

As a New American University, we are determined to help solve some of the greatest challenges of our time, knowing that broad access to educational excellence is the right way to achieve our goals. As a friend and supporter of ASU, you likely feel the same way.

The alumni, friends, corporations and organizations that invest in ASU each year are partners in an exciting transformation of American public higher education — one that points forward to continued global competitiveness for Arizona and America. We witness the positive impact of your contributions as ASU graduates take leadership roles in their professions and communities and tackle the most important needs of our shared world.

I invite you to consider an annual gift to ASU. Your investment will help ASU and its students achieve their promise. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions about how annual giving provides for future generations of ASU students.

Regards,

R.F. “Rick” Shangraw, Jr., Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
