ASU Law alum selected as Director of Public Health Americorps

As a compliance consultant for the University of Arizona, Kelly Mannes loved the work — the problem-solving, the human dynamics and the opportunity to support people and processes behind the scenes — but she wanted to understand it on a deeper level. That motivation led her to the Master of Human Resources and Employment Law program at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, where her coursework didn’t just introduce new concepts; it reshaped how she thinks, communicates and shows up in her professional life.

For CEO Joel Jorgenson, earning a Master of Legal Studies is proof that the most impactful leaders are lifelong learners.
