Sun Devil Send-Offs

Welcome new students to the Sun Devil family!

Every summer the ASU Alumni Association coordinates with alumni around the country to welcome our new freshmen students to the ASU family at our Sun Devil Send-Offs.

Sun Devil Send-Offs provide a personal welcome and offer opportunity for incoming Sun Devils to connect with ASU alumni and new and continuing students from their home area. These fun and casual summer events provide a relaxed setting in which new students and their families can ask questions about ASU and its surrounding areas and make a few friends before making the transition to college.
