ASU for Arizona is a comprehensive university initiative for social embeddedness present in several locations across the state. As a statewide expansion of the Building Great Communities (BGC) initiatives founded in 1999, ASU for Arizona addresses the need to coordinate projects that promote university-community alliances regarding quality of life issues affecting Arizona communities.
To appreciate the full potential of becoming socially embedded throughout the state, ASU must understand Arizona as a multifaceted setting and capitalize on the opportunities that emerge in its distinctive yet dynamic regions.

New report: The State of Black Arizona
Arizona State University is proud to partner with the Greater Phoenix Urban League in the creation of the first edition of The State of Black Arizona.
This important, collaborative project between the community and the University was undertaken to help advance a better understanding of the changing dynamics of Arizona’s African-American population and the critical issues that require our collective attention in terms of education, health care, the economy, culture and leadership.
