I am pleased to recommend Arizona State University President Michael M. Crow as a new Board member for the Center for U.S. Global Leadership. You will find his complete biography below.

As the sixteenth president of ASU, Mr. Crow is guiding its transformation into one of the nation's leading public metropolitan research universities, an institution that combines the highest levels of academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic, and maximum societal impact both at home and abroad. In pursuit of these goals, ASU has developed a strong commitment to global development and has partnered with USAID in numerous fields including poverty reduction, clean energy, technological development, and education. Liz Schrayer, and her team, have had many discussions with Mr. Crow and if approved, he is prepared to participate fully in Board activities.
