“It’s an honor to serve my alma mater, especially at a time when we welcomed the most academically qualified freshman class ever,” Gibson said. “From the growth of our community colleges to the continued rising of the Red Wolves athletics program, I’m convinced that even better days are ahead for the entire ASU System. I’m very proud of the success of all of our campuses as we prepare more than 22,000 students for their lifelong journeys.”
