Whole Life Development at ASU is nurturing holistic growth for lifelong learning and community impact

Why it’s important

Our world is rapidly evolving: Whether it's changes in technology, the economy, climate, education, workplace dynamics, or our own health. We as humans need to be able to adapt in equal measure. But it’s not just about keeping pace, it’s about thriving.

The transformative power of personal development means mastering the art of adapting with agility, creative problem-solving, and turning conflict into collaboration. It’s not just theory, it’s research-backed practice for real-world resilience.

Every moment is an opportunity to innovate, lead, and excel. Join us, and let’s thrive together.

Health and Well-Being

The foundation of our global community is the health and well-being of its members. ASU’s Learning Enterprise prioritizes not just physical wellness, but also mental and emotional resilience by blending cutting-edge research with compassionate care, creating an environment for all to thrive. We aim to build a community where well-being is not an afterthought but a fundamental aspect of daily life.

Long life learning

ASU is re-imagining universities as places for learning across the increased lifespan. This has fundamentally disrupted prevailing ideas of adult development. To get the most out of our new longevity, we need to develop and democratize new paradigms, language, and social intelligence about how to navigate modern day life transitions, particularly those that occur in the second half of our lives.
