"Education is a vital part of the future of Arizona. We have significantly increased the quality of our research and its connection to the economic well-being of the state. This includes partnerships with corporations and other educational affiliations that engage us with the community and allow us to focus on major issues, such as K-12 education, crime prevention, environmental quality and growth management for the years to come."

Lattie Coor, President - Arizona State University
