ASU students do the Two Dollar Challenge from April 17th-19th. The challenge raises awareness and funds for global poverty. Students only have two dollars to spend on food within the whole challenge.

Roosevelt Row teamed up with the Arizona State University Art Museum and the local downtown Phoenix community to put on the first annual Feast On The Street. It's the first of what Roosevelt Row Co-founder Greg Esser says he hopes to be many more Feasts. Esser estimates between 2,500 and 5,000 came out to the event Saturday April 13th. It centered around a long table stretching down 1st Street from Taylor Place to Margaret T. Hance Park. Phoenix residents were encouraged to buy food from local businesses surrounding 1st Street and eat at the table. The event is inspired by an urban harvest festival put on in England by artist Clare Patey with a similar name, Feast On The Bridge. With activities centered around composting and gardens, downtown Phoenix community leaders hope that this art project will bring the community together as well as raise awareness about the importance of buying local and being green.
"Los Variaciónes Sueño" is a score composed by Garrett Miller, a music composition major at the Herberger Institute. The piece is inspired by a work of art from the Phoenix Art Museum and will be performed there as part of the annual ASU Composers Concert. Samuel Rhodes, a violist for the esteemed Juilliard Quartet, gave feedback to Miller and the members of the quartet performing the piece during one of their rehearsals.
We sit down with Hailey Alcaraz, Health Director of the Undergraduate Student Government, about the unique event they started: Sexual Wellness Week. Alcaraz is looking to use this week to dedicate to bringing awareness to a wide variety of sexual issues, like consent, using protection and rape culture. With 1 in 200 women being sexually abused in ASU, this event, which has only been done at one other college (Harvard), is looking to put a positive outlook on being sexuality active in college life.
