The center will serve as a convening vehicle for students, faculty, staff and community members to learn about mindfulness initiatives at ASU.
This new center will bring together a vast array of interests in order to best honor the needs of the university's diverse population. We will promote and connect mindfulness efforts currently underway as well as inspire and support future endeavors across ASU campuses, within Phoenix and the surrounding communities.
Vision
Create an academic “Culture of Caring” by advancing mindfulness and compassion practices at ASU and the community to nurture purpose, focus, resilience and connection.
Mission
Build an ASU-wide center that connects global researchers, scholars, teachers, practitioners, and learners around the concepts of mindfulness, compassion and well-being.
ASU will be known for a vibrant and forward-leaning community that embodies and models mindfulness as context for learning, connecting and thriving. Our work is aligned with the ASU Charter and will accelerate the innovative leadership culture of caring that is foundational to The New American University. We will be known not only for what we do, but how we do it.

and develop a creative approach to wellbeing that will both aid the
members of our campus family now and prepare them for the future."
— Dr. Teri Pipe, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Innovation and Chief Well-Being Officer
