Born to lead?
Are leaders born, or can they be taught? Robert Denhardt, director of the ASU School of Public Affairs, says it can be both. He says leaders tend to have the same characteristics – and those leadership qualities can either be inherent, or they can be taught. For Denhardt, the simplest description is that “leaders energize.”

Creating a new vision
Rogier Windhorst, a Regents' Professor of astronomy, says that despite some spectacular accomplishments NASA has lacked a clear vision since the moon landings decades ago. He says that is changing, as the agency is gearing up for a series of bold scientific missions to other planets – and the ASU School for Earth and Space Exploration will provide a key resource.

Bringing home the environment
Andrew Smith, Parents' Association Professor and associate director of Undergraduate Programs in the School of Life Sciences, can't take his students to research sites in Mongolia and Tibet. But, he believes that bringing his real world research practices into the classroom empowers students as they move into their careers as conservation biologists, in academia or governmental agencies or non-governmental organizations.
