Public service is about more than a career — it’s about making an impact.

At The College, students prepare for careers in politics, law, government and nonprofit leadership through hands-on learning experiences that bring classroom knowledge into real-world settings.

Programs in the ASU School of Politics and Global Studies, including the Arizona Legislative and Government Internship and the Capital Scholars Program, help students build the skills and confidence to step into meaningful public service roles.

It’s 🔱 and of course Sparky makes time for the humanities.

“Arizona’s water future depends on people.” 💧

Amber Wutich of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change highlights the importance of bringing diverse voices into water decision-making.

Research from the School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU suggests that Triton, Neptune's largest moon, may be hiding an ocean beneath its icy surface. 🚀🔭

The study, led by doctoral student Lana Tilke and published in Nature Astronomy, used computer models to trace Triton’s evolution over billions of years. The findings indicate that the moon's core may be gradually freezing, generating fluid motions that could sustain a magnetic field — similar to the process that powers Earth's magnetic field today.
