President Michael M. Crow has positioned [http://www.asu.edu/ Arizona State University] as the model for a New American University. A model that measures success not by who it excludes, but by who it includes; a model that pursues research and discovery that benefit the public good and assumes major responsibility for the economic, social and cultural vitality as well as the health and well-being of the community.

= Institutionalizing Innovation =

As of 2018, ASU has been named the most innovative university in america for four years in a row. This recognition speaks to the fact that ASU has a wide variety of organizational structures that help develop, support, grow, and maintain innovation and entrepreneurship. Here is a brief summary of the key divisions:

== Knowledge Enterprise Development ==

== Office of the Knowledge Enterprise Architect  ==

== University Initiatives ==

[http://ui.asu.edu/ The Office of University Initiatives(UI)] is a cultural catalyst at ASU. UI helps ASU meet its innovation needs by connecting ideas with people and resources to make an impact. Through collaboration with other offices and departments across the university, in addition to state, national and international leaders, UI helps to shape and realize ASU’s innovation goals. Much of UI’s work falls into five overlapping categories: advancing ASU’s New American University agenda, entrepreneurship, social embeddedness, university innovation, and education. UI is the chief advocate for entrepreneurial thinking and activity across the university.

This year, students can win up to $20,000 in funding, as well as mentoring and office space to advance their venture ideas. The Initiative offers rolling admissions with two stages for advancement. Students can be placed in an incubator stage or an accelerator stage. Non-profit and for-profit initiatives are both encouraged. And students have responded with a number of innovative ventures. The G3Box project focuses on converting steel shipping containers into medical grade clinics by outfitting them with the basic components of power, ventilation, potable water, and insulation to create sustainable medical clinics that address critical health needs in poor countries.=

ASU previously had a unique two-distinct Engineering School model. [http://engineering.asu.edu/ The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering] is the flagship traditional school, while [http://innovation.asu.edu/ The College of Technology and Innovation] embodied the values of engaged learning, including a strong connection with industry and entrepreneurship. The hands-on approach model of the latter school requires students to build and design solutions to meet real industry needs; the model appears to be making an economic impact. The College of Technology and Innovation is now part of The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and is known as The Polytechnic School.

At ASU, entrepreneurship is not concentrated in just the field of business, nor is it housed in an entrepreneurial institute or school. Instead, entrepreneurship opportunities are offered in and out of the classroom, and in a wide variety of programs departments and schools. These include:

The Edson Student Entrepreneurship Initiative harnesses the entrepreneurial energy, excitement and creativity of ASU’s student body. It provides funding, office space and training for teams of students across the university to explore their innovative ideas for business products and services. These teams typically work in partnership with faculty, researchers and successful entrepreneurs from both the academic and private sectors. The Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative has been made possible by an investment of $5.4 million from Orin Edson to the Arizona State University Foundation.
