On Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service and reflect on the responsibility we share to honor that sacrifice.

At ASU, that remembrance lives on through a continued commitment to supporting veterans, active military members and their families. We are proud to support the work of the Pat Tillman Veterans Center - Arizona State University, which helps military-connected students thrive through education, community and opportunity.

Today, we pause with gratitude and look ahead with resolve to build a future worthy of their legacy.
