Moderator: Jeffrey S. Goss, Associate Vice Provost, ASU Presenters: Dr. Phil Regier, Executive Vice Provost and Dean, Arizona State University Online Campus andStartbucks Presenter (To be Confirmed if Abstract Accepted) Title: Building opportunities for College Completion in the U.S.: The Arizona State University and Starbucks PartnershipAbstract: The largest public university in the country and the largest coffee brand in the world came together in 2014 to create a first-‐of-‐its-‐kind partnership that would greatly expand access to higher education for Starbucks employees. Through the Starbucks College Achievement Plan, any employee of Starbucks in the U.S. is eligible to enroll in any of Arizona State University’s 40 plus undergraduate online degree programs and receive full tuition reimbursement to complete their degree. It is a partnership grounded in social embeddedness that provides opportunity for ASU, Starbucks and – most importantly – the thousands of students who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to earn their college degree. Phil Regier, executive vice provost for ASU and dean of ASU Online, will speak about the partnership that had everyone from John Stewart to President Obama talking. A Starbucks representative will join Regier and together they will discuss the motivation, origin and rollout of this innovative public-‐private education partnership. As of October 1st, over 4,000 Starbucks employees have applied for an ASU online degree.URL: http://asuonline.asu.edu/starbucks-‐and-‐arizona-‐state-‐university
