P. Carey School of Business, which will be renamed the NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management.
The gift will support new initiatives, scholarships and academic innovation through the launch of new procurement tracks in undergraduate and graduate supply chain-specific programs, endowed faculty positions, research, experiential learning, facility enhancements and strategic partnerships — further solidifying ASU as a global leader in procurement, logistics, operations and supply chain education and research.
The gift underscores procurement’s critical role as the starting point of every supply chain — influencing how organizations source, produce and deliver goods and services ethically and efficiently. It also highlights public procurement as a vital function that underpins effective governance and economic stability across states and the nation.
By advancing procurement as a driver of responsible supply chains, the investment aligns with the Building Supply Chain Futures priority within ASU’s Changing Futures campaign , which aims to expand the university’s leadership in building resilient and sustainable global networks. “World events in recent years have underscored our vast reliance on supply chains and the need to develop greater resilience,” ASU President Michael M.
Crow said. “This gift represents a visionary contribution in one of ASU’s most globally recognized programs, deepening our shared commitment to innovation, access and impact, and ensuring that supply chain management education continues to evolve in step with the challenges and opportunities of the modern world. ” The NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management at W.

Student success and collaboration are key priorities, with funding for the NASPO Scholars Program offering tuition support for undergraduate and graduate students. To promote faculty excellence, the investment creates multiple endowed positions, including the NASPO Endowed Chair of the Department of Supply Chain Management. The gift will support new initiatives and programs that expand the department’s reach and impact.
It establishes the Supply Chain Innovation, Technology, and Infrastructure Initiative — a hub for research, education and industry partnerships — and strengthens the Center for Responsible Supply Chain Management through the NASPO Endowed Research Fund to advance ethical, sustainable and resilient supply chains. It also enhances experiential learning and applied research through the Procurement and Behavioral Lab at ASU.
“Our Department of Supply Chain Management has long been a global leader in supply chain education and research, and this bold partnership with NASPO strengthens our ability to shape the future of procurement, logistics and operations in a changing world where technology is breaking new ground every day,” said Ohad Kadan , Charles J.

As supply chains grow in complexity, it is imperative that we advance education and research to meet the evolving needs of consumers and industries.

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
