00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.440
Yeah mm.

00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.967
A. S. U. Parents are passionate about
supporting student success in

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.686
building a pair of community and my
job is to help them do that. What

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:25.096
motivates me to do the work I do are
these inspiring parents. They are the

00:00:25.129 --> 00:00:29.436
safety net. Not only for their own
Children but for all A. S. U. Students

00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:34.396
working hard to ensure that as many
students as possible have access to

00:00:34.429 --> 00:00:39.307
the world. Quality education that A.
S. U. Provides. I'm proud of. Our

00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:43.326
scholarship program is scared towards
first generation students with high

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.847
financial need and this program serves
a diverse population and helps

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.307
increase access to quality education.
Another thrilling part of my job is

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:57.906
working with top faculty through our
professor of the year. Award

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:01.506
recognition of excellence in
undergraduate teaching is important to

00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:06.637
parents as a significant way to honor
outstanding professors and the

00:01:06.670 --> 00:01:10.727
professor of the year and scholarships
are just two of the programs that

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.997
parent donations of time and treasure
sustained. Our parents have far

00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:20.197
reaching impact as they support A. S.
U. Students and they're helping to

00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:24.277
produce citizens who will reach out in
their communities and help solve

00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:29.087
some of the challenges facing us
today. A. S. U. Parents are committed to

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.607
building a vibrant parent community
and our volunteers assist at all

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.357
university events to make sure that
parents feel welcome and connected.

00:01:38.390 --> 00:01:43.546
I'm proud that A. S. U. Is recognized
as one of the top 100 universities

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:47.656
in the world. And believe me if there
was a recognition for a university

00:01:47.689 --> 00:01:52.676
parents assume parents would win hands
down. I guess you can tell that I

00:01:52.709 --> 00:01:56.296
love working with parents and when
their students graduate, we don't want

00:01:56.329 --> 00:02:01.576
to see them go. So in 2009, we created
a new group are parents of alums.

00:02:01.609 --> 00:02:07.247
We call them our plums. They love that
name. Plumbs remain a vital part of

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.506
the family. So what does A. S you mean
To me, it means that I have the

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:18.886
opportunity to work with amazing
parents who do such meaningful work and

00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.666
I'm honored to play a small role in
their ability to make a difference at

00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:24.699
ASU.
