ASU at Lake Havasu celebrates 10 years of community education

Shortly after the onset of the Great Recession, a Lake Havasu middle school sat vacant, and the city needed revitalization. Its citizens saw opportunity in higher education so they raised $2 million, a generous donor matched their efforts, and a new college location was born. That was a decade ago and is ASU at Lake Havasu’s proud origin story. It recently celebrated its anniversary with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, reception and open house.
