Inclusive Excellence at the Fulton Schools
The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering is creating an environment in which everyone is welcomed and valued.
The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, in alignment with ASU’s charter, is committed to creating an inclusively excellent environment in which we measure our success by whom we include and how they succeed.
As engineers and technologists, part of our mission is to create solutions to advance society and address existing problems.
During all phases of the related design processes, a consistent focus on inclusive excellence is critical to ensuring the applicability of our solutions to as many people as possible.
We further ground our inclusive excellence goals in ensuring all members of the Fulton Schools community:
Have access to
professional development opportunities
Feel
valued and included within the Fulton Schools
Receive the support they need to
to realize their full potential
Our values
One of the ways we support our Inclusive Excellence practices is through living our values.
Produce solutions that demonstrably create a greater value or overcome an existing challenge.

ASU is a Hispanic-Serving Institution
The U.S. Department of Education has named ASU as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, or HSI. This recognition reflects ASU’s efforts to more holistically serve its Hispanic community through financial and academic support programs for current ASU students, K–12 outreach programs, and resources for the broader community.
Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services
ASU Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services, or SAILS, is the central campus resource for students with disabilities to ensure access to their education and help increase awareness in the university community.
On the SAILS website, students can register for accommodations, faculty can access their instructional portal, and have FAQs answered.

Fulton Student Organizations provide hands-on experience, service opportunities, friendships and fun
Many of the ASU engineering clubs are student chapters of prominent industry professional societies, allowing students to learn more about careers in their field when they participate.
Research suggests that students who are involved in organizations perform better academically and are more likely to graduate when compared with their non-involved peers.
Fulton Student Organizations are open to all ASU students.

Indigenous land acknowledgement
Arizona State University acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. ASU’s four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today.
ASU acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. ASU welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to ASU.
