Arizona Alumni Magazine
Welcome to the Winter 2025 issue of the Arizona Alumni Magazine. Our cover for this issue is Dr. Suresh Garimella, who is settling into his new role as the 23rd President of the University of Arizona. He can tell you a little more about himself and his vision for the university inside. We also have stories of service dogs helping comfort veterans with PTSD, a major work of Renaissance art shipping out for restoration and a deep look at suicide prevention initiatives on campus. We’re proud of these stories, and of the efforts of our faculty, students and staff they represent. Enjoy.
