Arizona State University Alumni Association will host the Sun Devil 100, an awards celebration dedicated to honoring the university’s alumni business leaders and entrepreneurs, on Wednesday, April 27, in Old Main on the university’s Tempe campus.

The event, formerly known as Sun Devil Select, will spotlight the achievements of Sun Devil-owned and Sun Devil-led businesses.

ASU has an incredible history of entrepreneurship and leadership from its students and alumni that spans many industries and locations. The awards program was instituted to invite innovative leaders back to campus for a celebration in their honor. The induction ceremony will be moderated by Ray Schey, publisher of the Phoenix Business Journal.

Honorees will have the opportunity to connect with each other, meet with the deans of their respective colleges, visit classrooms and network with current ASU students and aspiring entrepreneurs.

“The ASU Alumni Association has selected alumni and organizations from across the country that qualify to receive this award,” said Christine K. Wilkinson, president and CEO of the Alumni Association. “These are organizations that demonstrate innovation, growth and entrepreneurial spirit.”
