"I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with such an outstanding group of dedicated professionals," Riley says. "Together, we will deliver exciting sustainability initiatives, such as powering our Central Plant with biogas or generating electricity from biomass."
Riley is now responsible for overseeing business operations like parking, licensing, materials procurement, and university stores in addition to advancing ASU's sustainability initiatives.
