UI designed mechanisms to strengthen ASU’s institutional capacity for connecting with communities in mutually beneficial ways.
UI served as a catalyst for innovation at ASU by supporting faculty and staff with thought leadership, timely research and design tools to provoke out-of-the-box thinking.
UI cultivated partnerships with foundations, corporations and non-profits because addressing complex issues requires collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
UI built a collaborative environment that encouraged experimentation and empowered an interdisciplinary group of academics, professionals and students to contribute their creativity and talents toward responding to the complex needs of the university and the communities it serves.
