W. P. Carey
Indigenous Land Acknowledgment
The W. P. Carey School of Business acknowledges the 22 Tribal nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University’s four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral homelands of many Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa), whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today and provides a guide for our relationship with these lands in the future. W. P. Carey acknowledges the sovereignty of these tribal nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for American Indian students, and to work alongside Indigenous people in business practices and knowledges that support Native experiences and prosperity.
Letter from the dean
Dear colleagues and friends,
In my first year as the dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business, I’ve felt a tremendous sense of pride, gratitude, and momentum across so many areas. From the incredible teaching, impactful research, and exceptional student support that imbues everything we do, to our commitment to innovate and reach new learners to meet changing business imperatives, we are living our commitments to access, excellence, and innovation.
We have much to be proud of. Our commitments to access, excellence, and innovation permeate everything we do. This year’s annual report details both where we are as an organization today, and where we will be going tomorrow. It shares our many enduring strengths of our incredible school while clearly laying out the strategic initiatives underway to guarantee continued progress.
As always, I am incredibly grateful for our broad community’s support. Through our joint efforts, we have much to be proud of, and much to look forward to. If you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you. Email O.Kadan@asu.edu.
Regards,
