On behalf of the Graduate College, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you as either a new or continuing graduate student at Arizona State University. This is a very exciting time for ASU. Under the leadership of President Michael Crow, ASU has embarked on a journey to become the New American University. For you as a graduate student this means that the faculty and administration at ASU must continue to excel in our efforts to provide you with a transformative education, rooted in the best traditions of academic excellence while forging new interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary directions.

As the 21st Century unfolds, the challenges and opportunities for you will be immense. We hope you use every opportunity availed to you here to prepare for that journey.

The Graduate College is committed to assisting in your professional growth and development. We invite you to explore our website. It will provide a great deal of information on graduate programs, graduate policies, financial support, and professional development opportunities.

I wish you every success in the years ahead at Arizona State University.
