ASU Leadership Institute announces third class of Sun Devil alumni
The Alumni Association held a hybrid orientation for the ASU Leadership Institute Class 3.
The Arizona State University Alumni Association is delighted to welcome 20 ASU alumni to Class 3 of the ASU Leadership Institute. The third class is comprised of up-and-coming and current leaders representing industries including finance, education, nonprofit, technology and commercial contracting.
“I’m thrilled that within only three years, we have increased the number of alums who want to devote their time to learn how ASU continues to transform as the contemporary New American University,” said Christine Wilkinson, ASU Alumni Association president and CEO. “During these times, Class 3 will have an unprecedented opportunity to see how their alma mater is meeting the challenge of a global pandemic and still advancing the university. Each class has included a Sun Devil who lives outside the Valley, and this year we have alums from three different states outside Arizona.”
