ASU Learning Enterprise staff celebrate graduation and career momentum

Employee graduation milestones reflect ASU’s commitment to lifelong learning

Building educational pathways is one thing. Walking them is another.

Next week, 18 members of the ASU Learning Enterprise team are walking the walk as they join the graduating Sun Devil Class of 2026. Those celebrating include three bachelors, 14 master’s, and one doctoral recipient.

These graduates balanced full-time roles with late-night study sessions, using the same flexible credits and digital tools they created to serve learners worldwide. Their success proves that a degree can be possible for working adults with the right support.

We’re proud to advance ASU’s mission by demonstrating leadership in enabling academic excellence. We caught up with a few of our new grads to find out what goals they’re chasing next:

Jaclyn Campbell – Learning Design & Technologies, MEd

Role: Instructional designer

Jaclyn Campbell spent workdays building courses, and nights finishing her own schoolwork. She earned her M.Ed. in learning design and technologies while leading our team in AI-enabled workflows. When asked what her plans are now, she replied:

“I plan to use AI as a collaborative partner to push the boundaries of learning design and develop new ways of building and supporting learning experiences.”

Jaclyn is a prime example of how professional expertise and academic growth move together. Her focus remains on helping teams adopt these approaches in ways that are practical, scalable, and grounded in real work.

Divyansh Chandarana – Computer Science, BS

Role: Software Engineer (Research Analyst)

Software engineer by day, computer science student by night.

Divyansh Chandarana has already been using his skills to build AI systems that make technology easier for everyone to use, working across full-stack systems, exploring solutions and automations:

“I’m interested in building systems where AI can close the gap between what’s technically possible and what actually gets deployed. That gap exists across most industries, and I find it a genuinely compelling space to work in.”

His work ensures advanced technology remains accessible and useful for everyday learners.

Priyal Vasaiwala – User Experience, MS

Role: Design Specialist, Learning Innovations

Priyal is dedicated to making sure every learner has an intuitive path to their goals. Her focus is on building learning interfaces that are more user-friendly and accessible:

“In the next chapter of my life, I want to work at the intersection of AI and design, helping organizations build more efficient product workflows while championing what technology still can’t replicate: strong design intuition and genuine human empathy.”

With her new degree, she plans to enhance how learners interact with digital platforms. She’s dedicated to ensuring that the technology behind education remains a bridge to opportunity, rather than a barrier to education itself.
