Michael M Crow honored at 2023 Arizona Historymaker Celebration

 A Board Meeting in Australia prevented Michael Crow from personally accepting his honor of 2023 Arizona Historymaker™ as Educator and Innovator: under his leadership as president, Arizona State University achieved national renown. But that did not stop those who appreciate the work he is doing for Arizona State University from supporting him at the event October 14 at Arizona Heritage Center. He joined us via a pre-recorded message on the big screen.

 Taking time to meet and visit with every honoree at the 2023 Arizona Historymaker, Diana Smith made chairing the event look easy.
