EdPlus at Arizona State University

An incredible season comes to an end in Atlanta. The team gave it their all to the end and made every Sun Devil proud. We can’t wait to see the team back at Mountain America Stadium for what will be an amazing 2025 season!

At the end of each year I typically reflect on a theme on how I would describe the year. 2024 was without a doubt the year of partnership. Together, we worked to make ASU a place where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. I want to especially thank a few key leaders and their partnerships with EdPlus and others across ASU for making this year a record breaking year. We, together, created new experiences that help students succeed not just today, but for a lifetime. Thank you for believing in what we’re building, thank you for showing up with your whole heart. And thank you for helping ASU lead the way into a future where anything is possible. 1️⃣ ASU Academic Enterprise Team Kent Hopkins, Matt Lopez, Jody Miller-Smith, Kim Breitbach, Ditmara Turner, Andrew Pickering, Tamara Deuser, Anne Jones, Jennifer Malerich, PhD, Tanaya Dempsey, Kim Marrone Beckert, Kevin Kovaleski, Gemma Garcia, Danielle McNamara 2️⃣ The ASU Brand Team Jill Andrews, Lindsay Kinkade, Sarah Hough, Adam Pierno 3️⃣ ASU Enterprise Partners Ann Toca, Dr. Nadine M Berghaus, Pamela Zager-Maya, A Claire Slattery, Jonathan Carroll 4️⃣ ASU Learning Enterprise Turner Bohlen, Kim Merritt, Scott Weatherford, Tessa Jones, Jackie Smith Price 5️⃣ Technology at Arizona State University Lev Gonick, Nate Wilken, Kyle Bowen, Kimberly C., Allison Hall, Elizabeth Reilley, Roger Kohler, Paul Alvarado 6️⃣ ASU Preparatory Academy Leah Lommel 7️⃣ Mastercard Foundation Yeukai Mlambo and so many others.

First-generation college grad makes history as ASU Local-West Hawaii’s first graduate! When Reina Nieto enrolled in ASU Local–West Hawai'i, she wasn’t just chasing a degree—she was creating a legacy. As a first-generation college graduate and a mom of three, Reina balanced her dreams with her family responsibilities, showing her family—and her community—what’s possible. “The ASU Local program is built on the belief that higher education should be accessible in the communities where students live,” said Kim Merritt, vice president of ASU’s Learning Enterprise. “Reina’s journey is a powerful example of how when given access to education that honors each student’s unique journey and connection to place, first-generation students can lead, inspire and create lasting change with their families and communities.” This December, Reina breaks barriers as the first graduate of ASU Local–West Hawai'i, earning her Bachelor of Science in biological sciences. Her story shows what can happen when individual learners are given the support they need every step of the way. 🎓 Reina’s next step? Combining her love of science with her passion for helping others as she applies to physician assistant programs. 👉 Your next step?
