Experience ASU: Connecting with California in downtown LA
ASU is excited to bring you a series of events to mark our expansion in California at the ASU California Center, located at the historic Herald Examiner building in downtown Los Angeles. From August to October, we will be hosting events to share ideas and explore collaborations on issues facing our communities.
From discussing the state of education and how we can better serve students from kindergarten to retirement; to looking at innovations in health care to strengthen patient care and well-being; to showcasing the role women are playing in advancing the immersive technologies of extended reality (XR) — wherever your interests may lie, ASU can help you learn the very latest information and engage directly. You can view our full schedule of events here. New events are added regularly.
