Criteria
To be considered, a business leader must follow these guidelines:
- The company must operate in a manner consistent with the ASU Charter in the areas of inclusion, impact on public good and responsibility to the community:
- The ASU Charter, adopted in 2014, is the blueprint to the transformation into the New American University: ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves.
- The company must be Sun Devil owned or led, meaning owned by an ASU graduate or led in a senior executive position by an ASU graduate. This includes graduates from the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
- The company must have generated verifiable revenues of $250,000 or more in each of three calendar and/or fiscal years.
