Coral research, protecting the world's oceans and promoting island sustainability don't seem like obvious objectives for an institution located in the middle of a desert, but ASU has managed to expand to a place outside its arid home state to further its "research and discovery of public value."
As a single mother with a full-time job, Ty Seibel needed to find a safe and affordable place for her then-8-year-old daughter to be throughout the day over the summer.
A sharp pain jolted me upward from my comfortable position on my bed. When I stood up, it was like I had eaten a pound of rocks. I dragged my feet as I headed to the bathroom — it felt like my intestines were tangled around my bladder.
As stewards of a university renowned for its ever-expanding online enrollment numbers, ASU’s administrators pride themselves on their — and by extension, the University’s — role in building what they view as the future of higher education in the digital age: a mix of online and in-person learning.
State Press Magazine spoke to three University students compelled to wear aspects of their culture on their skin every day. Sophia Crevelt, a junior studying journalism and mass communication, shares a tattoo stemming from a trip to Italy that reconnected her to her Italian heritage. Allison Hawn graduated from ASU in 2022 with a Ph.D. in communication and is a tattoo art historian. She bears traditional tattoos from the Indigenous people of northern Scotland and perpetuates what it means to be Pict. Sasha Park is a senior studying biological sciences, conservation and ecology. She describes how her tattoos helped her come to terms with her body as a trans woman and explains her interest in a niche culture.

Whether you're attending class, going to a party or having a hard time saying no to street preachers, at some point you will have to talk to someone you don't know.

Springtime on ASU's Tempe campus is characterized by the bright Seville sour oranges blooming overhead. Everywhere you look — a round juicy orange peers back at you. Before the oranges hit the ground, hordes of volunteers gather to harvest them all, knowing the sour oranges will return again next year as they have every year since 2008.
La primavera en el campus de la ASU en Tempe se caracteriza por las brillantes naranjas agrias de Sevilla que florecen por encima. Dondequiera que mire — una naranja redonda y jugosa mira de vuelta a usted. Antes de que las naranjas golpeen el suelo, hordas de voluntarios vienen a cosechar todos, sabiendo que las naranjas agrias volverán de nuevo el próximo año como lo han hecho cada año desde el 2008.
