The Center for Mindfulness, Compassion and Resilience at Arizona State University unveils the power of mindful living to advance our well-being and engagement through learning and connecting with the larger community. Under the leadership of Dean Teri Pipe, ASU’s Chief Well-Being Officer, this initiative focuses on deepening ASU's culture of healthfulness, personal balance and resiliency among students and employees. 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.
