New ASU outreach center opens in California

Arizona State University has opened an outreach center in Santa Monica , Calif. to attract residents of that state to Arizona . Spokesman James O'Brien says the center will also benefit ASU alumni.

“Probably our largest alumni association chapter is in Los Angeles and so it provides a place where not only employees of the university but volunteers and alumni and friends of the university can engage,” O’Brien said.

O'Brien says the new center offers enhanced academic and internship experience for current students. Right now, over 5,000 ASU students are from California . The university hopes the outreach center will help expand its California student population.
