Inclusive Excellence at the Fulton Schools
The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering is creating an environment in which everyone is welcomed, valued and included as their full, authentic selves.
Inclusive Excellence
The Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU, 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.
Building on ideas from the 2023 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, we further ground our inclusive excellence goals in ensuring all members of the FSE community have access to professional opportunities, feel included and belonged within FSE, and are provided support and resources to realize their full potential.
Within this conceptualization, we recognize the significance of individual, social, and professional identities that shape the lived experiences of members of our Fulton Schools community.
Keeping the ethos of inclusive excellence at the foreground of our practices allows us to begin to disrupt some of the historical exclusions that have taken place within engineering and technology.
Furthermore, 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.
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.

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.
