As promised in its charter, ASU dedicates itself to excellence, equal access to higher education and meaningful societal impact. To honor that mission, ASU positions itself to welcome, prepare and graduate the highest number of American Indian students in the nation. ASU also seeks to learn from, serve and collaborate with tribal nations in true partnership and respect. The Office of American Indian Initiatives works closely and strategically at every level of the university to advance learning, discovery and partnership opportunities that support the success of our students and the tribal nations and communities we serve.
Impact of Donor Support

- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
