WHY WE CREATED ASU+GSV

GSV TAKES ON SOCIETY’S GREATEST CHALLENGE:

ENSURING EVERYONE HAS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FUTURE

ABOUT THE HOSTS

INNOVATION POWERS THE NEW AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CREATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS

Arizona State University has developed a new model for the American Research University, creating an institution that is committed to excellence, access and impact. ASU measures itself by those it includes, not by those it excludes. ASU pursues research that contributes to the public good, and ASU assumes major responsibility for the economic, social and cultural vitality of the communities that surround it. ASU has been named the Most Innovative University by U.S. News and World Reports for 8 years running.
