Just because one's time as a student at Arizona State University is complete does not mean they stop being a Sun Devil. That goes for all ASU alumni, but some choose to stick around and spend their professional career at the place their educational and playing careers ended.
As the school year gets started, Sun Devil Athletics proudly lists those who have earned their degrees from ASU, and a few notes to go along with it.
--Counting just full-time SDA staff, there are nearly 50 members of the SDA staff have earned degrees from ASU.
--Thirteen full-time employees have two ASU degrees, more than 10 have master’s degrees and nearly 40 have earned an undergraduate degree.
Below is a list of all staff...graduate assistants and SDA staff...who have earned their degrees from Arizona State.
