Michael M. Crow, President of Arizona State University and Chairman of the University Design Institute, has led ASU for more than 20 years. During that timeframe, the university has transformed into a powerful catalyst of social embeddedness, access and excellences that has become a model for higher education around the globe.
Today, ASU is routinely ranked as a top university in innovation, sustainability and global impact, and continues to advance its charter, a powerful framework for how the institution operates and sees its place in the world. The "New American University", ASU demonstrates comprehensive excellence, inclusivity and consequential societal impact.
President Crow is a visionary for global higher education, and his framework and design thinking guide much of UDI's global work in higher education.
