Building a stronger Arizona through A++ and statewide partnerships
The Office of Economic Mobility and Social Impact (EMSI) at Northern Arizona University connects talent with opportunity to foster professional growth for people living in the beautiful state of Arizona. Through our signature initiative A++, formally known as the Arizona Attainment Alliance, we continue to build a foundation of access, success, attainment, and prosperity.
EMSI will work with educational and industry partners across the state to emphasize and promote four key areas.
Access
Every Arizonan will have the opportunity to go to college.
Success
Those who attend college will find greater educational success close to home.
Attainment
The proportion of Arizonans with a high-quality, career-aligned credential will dramatically increase.
Prosperity
The economic benefits of greater attainment will be fueled and enjoyed by all Arizonans.
