Since the release of Lady Gaga's first single, "Just Dance" in 2008, Robert Soares has been an avid follower of the hit pop star and is one of many "Little Monsters." He claims Gaga's message is part of the reason why she has built up such a loyal fan base. While Gaga may wear some extreme outfits, Soares says it is all tied to her beliefs and the messages she wants to convey to her fans. One of her most important messages, Soares explained, is to not conform to what others have to say and just be yourself. "Don't care about what other people think, don't do what your parents think, just do what you want to do because this is your life," Soares said. Soares was one of thousands of people who attended Gaga's concert at U.S. Airways Center on Wednesday.
Arizona State University rose to the challenge issued by Obama in September asking students to come up with innovative ways to use technology for the purpose of combatting human trafficking. ASU’s Changemaker Central, an organization that helps students get their ideas off the ground and into action, worked with The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to hold a conference informing students about the immediacy of the issue. The Call To Action Against Human Trafficking is ASU’s Campus Challenge event for the month of January. Alexis La Benz is the perfect example of one way in which ASU students can break the mold and tackle seemingly impossible tasks. As a freshman La Benz works to raise awareness about Human Trafficking with her jewelry and Teens On Trafficking organization.

After a disappointing 10-21 record at the end of the 2010-2011 season, Coach Sendek got to work to rebuild the Sun Devil Basketball Program. One of the changes he implemented was a greater level of student involvement, and the 942 (pronounced nine forty-two) club was born. Named after the number of seats within the student section at Wells Fargo arena, the goal of the 942 club is to fill every single one of those 942 student seats, every single home game. Led by Associate A.D. Bill Kennedy and well-recognized super fan Nate McWhortor, the 942 club has seen steadily rising student fan numbers throughout the 2012-2013 season, especially against Pac-12 rivals Colorado and Arizona. With the Sun Devils currently enjoying a 14-4 record, and 11-2 at home, the new atmosphere in Wells Fargo Arena seems to certainly be contributing to the team's newfound success.
