As water becomes more scarce in Arizona, capturing precipitation before it evaporates is increasingly important.

A new Regents’ Grant report from @ASU, @NAU and @UArizona researchers identified ways to increase water capture and storage, including:

💧 Strategically depositing plowed snow
💧 Using permeable pavement in cities
💧 Redesigning floodways to maximize water capture

Requested by @azwater, the research provides actionable strategies to strengthen Arizona’s water future: https://t.co/aSXXcIx469

Beginning this fall, @NAU is launching a three-year bachelor’s degree in engineering technology.

Designed to prepare students for careers in microelectronics and advanced manufacturing, students complete half their credits at a community college before transferring to NAU: https://t.co/vCW0Uar8UB

To expand health care access in rural Arizona, @UArizona researchers are building AI-powered kiosks that could be placed in pharmacies and community centers.

Using cameras, audio and other sensing tech, the kiosks would provide an alternative to telehealth or urgent care visits.

Researchers are using community input to develop the technology: https://t.co/mqywvCg6Ep

Arizona’s public universities don't just compete — they win.

In 2025-26, @ASU, @NAU and @UArizona combined for 18 conference championships, representing Arizona at the highest level in the @Big12Conference, @BigSkyConf and @MPSFSports.

[University of Arizona Research @uazresearch]

NASA's prototype lunar radar SESAR-LITE made history as the first instrument tested in the U of A's giant thermal vacuum chamber – the largest TVAC any university worldwide – marking our entry into an exclusive testing arena. SESAR is built to hunt for water ice beneath the moon's surface. More: https://t.co/lf0dxKvpnB

Student safety and wellbeing are a top priority for the board.

In partnership with the universities, the student regents have met with students across Arizona to gather ideas for fostering a culture of care and strengthening hazing prevention and substance misuse resources.

[Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS @RepGosar]

Great news for AZ agriculture! @uarizona has been selected by @SecRollins for USDA funding to strengthen America’s defenses against the New World Screwworm, a serious threat to livestock and our food supply. I strongly advocated for @uarizona's proposal and am proud to support this critical partnership protecting AZ ranchers and American agriculture.

"The TSMC project - largest foreign direct investment in United States history, $165 billion and counting - that would not happen without Arizona State University."

Arizona’s public universities are educating the workforce and attracting investments that strengthen our economy.

[Arizona Chamber @AZChamber]

"Arizona's education institutions are not cost centers. They are revenue generators."

At @axios Live, @dbseiden highlighted the workforce pipelines behind projects like TSMC, including @michaelcrow's long-term work to grow engineering talent and the universities, community colleges, JTEDs and CTE programs preparing Arizona's workforce.
