Ed Pastor receives University Medal of Excellence
United States Representative Ed Pastor received the University Medal of Excellence, considered one of Arizona State University’s most prestigious honors, from President Michael Crow at the fall undergraduate commencement today at Wells Fargo Arena.
The medal was established in 2006 by Crow to honor innovative leaders who have worked to advance awareness and action on issues that affect the well-being and positive development of their communities, and whose leadership has helped ASU in its effort to define excellence and inclusion and serves as a model to others for positive community impact. It’s a description that fits Pastor well, according to Crow.
“Arizona State University is proud to present Rep. Pastor with the University Medal of Excellence in recognition of his dedicated leadership, the scope and meaningful impact of his life’s work, and his committed service to strengthening our nation, the state of Arizona and ASU,” Crow said.
