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, 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.
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.

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.
