What's special about ASU?
To gather ideas for a new brochure and web page, we recently sent e-mail to all faculty and staff asking, "What's special about ASU?"  Response has been terrific, but we're still collecting data.  If you haven't responded and intended to, send a note to asunews@astate.edu.
