Pastor Center for Politics and Public Service

 

Join us to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Pastor Center

In late 2015, Congressman Ed Pastor worked with ASU to create a Center that would prepare students and community members for effective civic and political engagement. Join us to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Pastor Center’s work to fulfill that vision, including the annual recognition of the Ed Pastor Public Service Awards honorees, and a spotlight on some of our amazing student leaders who have taken up the charge to promote civic participation among their fellow students, families, and community members.

Congressman Ed Pastor

For more than four decades, Congressman Ed Pastor was a guiding star in the field of public service for Arizonans. Growing up in Claypool, Arizona, Pastor was the first in his family to graduate from college, and he used that education to change his own life and better the community. As a teacher, director of a nonprofit organization and ultimately the first Mexican-American congressman to represent the state of Arizona, Pastor left an indelible mark on both the local community and the national political landscape.
