Featured bold ideas
Building Supply Chain Futures
Strong supply chains connect people to the essentials of a healthy, fulfilling life — from food and medicine to technology, transportation and economic opportunity. Through its Building Supply Chain Futures priority, ASU is preparing the next generation of supply chain leaders and developing smarter, more resilient systems that serve communities and strengthen industries.
By advancing education, research and partnerships through the W. P. Carey School of Business and the NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management, ASU is helping build supply chains that are ethical, sustainable and ready for the future.
Justice Forward
Every community deserves safety, well-being and opportunity. Justice Forward is ASU’s priority to reimagine public safety and criminal justice through research, education, leadership development and community-centered solutions.
Led by the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, this initiative brings together experts, practitioners and community partners to create safer, healthier communities across Arizona, the West and beyond.
