Flinn Scholars enjoyed an exclusive gathering with historian Walter Isaacson, the 2026 ASU Centennial Lecturer and author of “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written,” who with ASU President Michael Crow examined the opening line of the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The annual ASU Centennial Lecture was established in 1985 with a Flinn Foundation endowed gift to commemorate the university’s 100th anniversary. The Oct. 7 public event at ASU Gammage was sponsored by Barrett, The Honors College.

As a member of the second class of Flinn Scholars (1987), Shaun had the opportunity to explore, study abroad, and follow his passions at a time when those experiences were opening his eyes to a rapidly changing world.

In this interview from earlier this month, hear more about his journey from the The University of Arizona to a biotech investment firm and the Flinn Foundation Board of Directors.
