Incoming Arizona State University freshman Aquarie Doyle readily admits she didn’t have an idyllic childhood.
The product of a broken home, her parents were both teens when she was born. Doyle’s father ended up leaving for good when she was 7, and Aquarie was raised by her single mother and other assorted relatives.
Doyle found refuge at school and comfort in her kindergarten teacher, Mary McClain of Phoenix’s Esperanza Elementary School.
In a column published on PolitiFact, Gustavo Fischman, MLFTC professor of educational policy, writes, "If you look at the measures of entrepreneurial activity after finishing high school and college, the health of the American-educated workforce is pretty good."
Aligned with ASU’s commitment to assume fundamental responsibility for the overall health of the communities we serve, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is deeply engaged with communities throughout Arizona and beyond.
Our social embeddedness is reflected in the fact that MLFTC students contribute to more than 550 schools in the state. It’s also reflected in the way we pursue deep, long-term partnerships with districts, schools and community organizations.

Just because people aren’t talking about race doesn’t mean they aren’t really talking about race, Keon M. McGuire, assistant professor of higher and postsecondary education in Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College says. He’s referring to his experience with coded language during his time in Germany.
The pitchfork symbol is ubiquitous around Arizona State University, and now there is finally a sculpture of the iconic representation of the Sun Devils, unveiled last week.
The 6-foot, 3-inch-tall bronze pitchfork sits at the southeast entrance of the newly renovated Sun Devil Stadium, a symbol of school spirit and the perfect place for fan photos.
“We didn’t have anything like this, and we needed our emblem,” said Arthur Pearce II, a Mesa businessman and third-generation Sun Devil, who donated the statue.
Each year, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College honors faculty members whose scholarship and teaching embody our mission to create knowledge, mobilize people and take action to improve education. This year, we are pleased to honor four faculty members who, in different ways, exemplify excellence and a spirit of creative intrapreneurship.
