We're proud to celebrate FTF Board member Dr. Christian Osmeña as an honoree of the 2025 Phoenix Business Journal's 40 Under 40. Dr. Osmeña was selected from a pool of 374 nominees as an outstanding Valley executive and entrepreneur making a mark in the industry.
Dr. Osmeña is the vice president for enterprise planning at Arizona State University, where he leads financial planning and analysis to support the long-term growth of the ASU Enterprise. He is also a professor of practice in the School of Public Affairs in the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions.
He has been an FTF Board member since 2021, responsible for ensuring that Arizona’s early childhood funds are spent on services that help our state’s young children be healthier and start kindergarten ready to succeed.
The Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board consists of nine members appointed by the Governor and approved by the state Senate. Join us in congratulating Dr. Osmeña!
ASU, repeatedly ranked #1 in areas that matter, has landed at the top of another list. Again.
Most innovative university in the U.S., ahead of MIT and Stanford, for the ninth year in a row.

We’re talking higher education in California at @asugsvsummit. Really excited to have this panel of higher education leaders here to discuss the role of innovation, and innovators, in their work.
On Thursday (2/9) at 3 p.m. (MST), I will be presenting an update on @ASU's progress toward its charter, mission and goals to the @AZRegents. Catch the livestream at https://t.co/zrFrKysvzG.
In 2010 my brother and I started posting educational videos because we had run out of ideas for our vlog.
Today, with @ASU and @Google, we’re launching https://t.co/ciWkOtX8iS a path from YouTube to real, transferable college credit, and I want to talk about why (and how).
Thanks to you @GeneralRoth and to @AsmJoseMedina for working with us to unlock resources for #California students seeking a college education. @ASU is excited to join the world-class colleges and universities in California to create better futures for learners. #access

“…he views AZ and CA as key partners in a regional Southwest economy that his national research university should serve without regard to state boundaries. And those who want higher education should have it — whatever it takes.”
I’m lucky to be able to support @ASU’s work here.
Tens of thousands of students each year are delivered rejection letters from #UC and #CSU.
Arizona State leaders say the California schools are stuck in old models of education tied to availability of physical space.
