The ASU Alumni Association has opened applications for the 2026 Sun Devil 100, a program that recognizes businesses owned or operated by Arizona State University alumni. The annual initiative highlights companies of various sizes and from multiple industries, including health care, construction, education, and nonprofits.
Christine K. Wilkinson, president and CEO of the ASU Alumni Association, stated, “The Sun Devil 100 honors distinguished alumni who make a meaningful impact in their communities and exemplify the ASU Charter. We are proud to celebrate these individuals for their determination and entrepreneurial excellence.”
Eligible companies for the 2026 class will be ranked based on their percentage increase in gross sales and revenue over the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. The program uses three financial tiers: revenues between $250,000 and $1.99 million, $2 million to $9.99 million, and more than $10 million.
In 2025, the Sun Devil 100 included 145 organizations, marking its largest group so far. These organizations generated a combined $70.7 billion in revenue for the 2023 fiscal year and employed nearly 257,000 full-time professionals across 14 states and two countries.
Applications for the 2026 cohort are due by Friday, December 5. Selected honorees will be notified in early 2026 and invited to the Sun Devil 100 Recognition Luncheon scheduled for May 1, 2026. More information about application criteria is available at alumni.asu.edu/sundevil100.
