Stuart Rice

Stuart Rice is Executive Director of Learning Experience (LX) within Arizona State University's Enterprise Technology organization, where he leads a team of approximately 70 staff across six functional areas: Space Success, Space Design, Environments, Student Experiences, TechEd Practice, and AI Practice. Together, these teams work to make enterprise-wide technologies a multiplier of teaching, learning, and discovery for all faculty, students, and learners at ASU.

Stuart's leadership is grounded in Roger Martin's Playing to Win strategic framework, which he uses to align each LX team around a clear winning aspiration and a coherent set of strategic choices. Under his direction, LX has evolved from a primarily tactical support function into an organization that operates across three tiers: strategic engagement with academic units on technology and AI planning, enabling programs like scaled faculty training and self-service resources, and the tactical platform and classroom support that has always been LX's foundation. Stuart is committed to deepening partnerships with the Office of the University Provost, EdPlus, and colleges across the university, and to activating enterprise technology and AI at scale so that every academic unit can advance its teaching, learning, and research mission with confidence.

A proud member of Sun Devil Nation since 2012, Stuart has held roles across ASU at Learning Enterprise (supporting CareerCatalyst), Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Access ASU, and EdPlus, where he served as Project Manager and Creative Design Lead. Each role deepened his commitment to expanding access to ASU's knowledge capital and to building the systems and partnerships that make learning technology genuinely useful to educators and learners.

Before joining ASU, Stuart spent seven years at a small career college serving adult learners and first-generation college students, ultimately as VP of Research and Development with a mandate to discover and integrate learning technologies. That work followed an earlier career in public-sector consulting, where he managed over a million dollars in deliverables on child support enforcement and human services system projects for Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and California between 1998 and 2004.
