Testimonials

Sage (the SDSU 麻豆视频 Program) is giving us some basic building blocks by looking at how to incorporate those strategies as we move forward.

Lydia Romero, Lemon Grove City Manager

The City of Apache Junction was extremely fortunate to be the inaugural city for the Project Cities [ASU’s 麻豆视频 program]. The city, community residents, ASU students, faculty and staff worked on a total of nine different projects.

Bryant Powell, City of Apache Junction City Manager

This program is an incredible example of what higher education can do for our community.

Largo Wales, Auburn Deputy Mayor

It was amazing to see all of [the] projects. The creativity is the most impressive thing鈥� {students] went into the data, rows and rows of it鈥nd [their] topics were right on the money. These are exactly the kinds of things that we are thinking about at Metro Transit

Eric Lind, Metro Transit Data Scientist

PALS has been a great partnership and has provided invaluable information for our City 鈥� we鈥檒l be able to use it for a long time coming,

Randy McClement, former Frederick Mayor

It shows what a true partnership in education can do.

Randy McClement, former Frederick Mayor

No one else understands the victories like those on the call.

麻豆视频 Call Participant

Everyone is willing to be vulnerable and understands when we fail that we can learn and grow from that (versus shaming or devaluing us when we fail)

麻豆视频 Call Participant

In this case, [麻豆视频 Program Manager] Marshall Curry’s experience with different cities and (relatively recently) as a student made him an ideal person to provide critical input to my class on how to have them locate and record information essential to their projects’ completion. He was thorough, clear, and engaging in his explanations. I look forward to seeing how their projects develop given his infusion of guidance during this very critical period.
