The journey of ASU alumni founders in the marketing industry - The Arizona State Press

When ASU alumni Ken Bonham and Scott Kaufmann first met, it was through mutual friends. They were not in the same major, graduating class or job field.

But years later, they would eventually find themselves as roommates, friends and then business partners.

In their shared apartment, Kaufmann pitched the idea for a new marketing firm, telling Bonham, "If you can sell it, I can run it."

Their firstborn marketing company Lucid Agency was born, focusing on digital media using Google, social media

Pacific and Indian Ocean Island nations unite against climate change through music and art - The Arizona State Press

When BaoBao Chen and her husband, Tim Cole, heard the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, they knew they had to act fast.

Within a month, they had quit their jobs, pulled together some money, cameras and microphones, and started a three-year journey across 16 island nations.

The resulting touring project is coming to Tempe, addressing climate change by bringing together the voices and art of musicians from island nations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Opinion: The University has a duty to inform students about gun violence close to campus - The Arizona State Press

The University is not an isolated island; it exists within a broader community touched by the same societal threats and challenges as what lies off campus. ASU must extend its duty of care beyond campus boundaries and proactively inform students about incidents in surrounding areas, especially areas considered a staple of the college culture.

The backdrops for January's two off-campus shootings included Fat Tuesday, a popular bar on Mill Avenue, and El Paisano Market, a staple for late-night bi

UPDATE: Former members of disbanded frat look to start fresh in new organization - The Arizona State Press

Students who were former members of a disbanded fraternity started a new organization for Asian men, seeking to start a new fraternity in the ashes of the disgraced Pi Alpha Phi.

Much like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, the members focused on not discarding the pieces of the organization but putting them carefully back into place, creating something entirely new in the process.

The approximately 10 founding members of Kintsugi, all friends from the brotherhood's past, are gluing their community

Devil on the Street: Women across campuses express need for birth control access - The Arizona State Press

The women at ASU have spoken — access to birth control is crucial for future careers, a deeply personal choice and nobody’s business whatsoever.

Kara Seelig, a junior studying biomedical science, said she is feeling "so much tension" because of Arizona’s battleground state status and that access to birth control is something that she thinks about often.

"Just recently, in these past couple of years, I’ve voted," Seelig said. "I am genuinely worried for women’s rights to their bodies."

Braille Devils at ASU raises awareness with creation of storybooks - The Arizona State Press

A symphony of metal keys clicking and chiming echoes through the nearly empty classroom. As each key clatters, a corresponding hole punches through the thick, waxy paper, leaving a slight indentation behind.

The commotion is not coming from a typewriter — but from a Braille writer.

Braille Devils at ASU hosted a Braille book creation event at the University Center Building on the West campus Wednesday, where children's books were adapted into Braille books and will later be donated to The Foun

Student comics reflect on changing cultural discourse, importance of diverse writers' rooms - The Arizona State Press

Whether you prefer hilarious performed scripts, yelling absurd suggestions at a cast, or a solo performance on stage with audience engagement, the comedy line-up on Fridays at the Memorial Union basement stage is where you can find it all.

For comedians at ASU, getting a laugh is just as important as being aware of the impact had on an audience. For members of Farce Side Comedy and Barren Mind Improv, it's about building confidence and finding community.

But today's comedy scene looks very dif

ASU HPIC club partners with 'Island Liaison' to fundraise for Maui fires - The Arizona State Press

Kaila Montero-Quemado remembered being on the south side of the island with a friend looking towards the West Maui Mountains. The sunset was devoured by a blanket of dark grey smoke and any shimmer of sunlight was replaced with the eerie glow of fires upcountry.

Joebelle Daludado remembered having trouble falling asleep in her home just hours before the fires started. The straight-lined gusts blew strong and she tossed and turned while it whistled outside.

Now, both are back on the mainland, m

Through imperfection, Mathew Sandoval shares the origins of Día de los Muertos - The Arizona State Press

You are being watched by the colorful iconography of a skull that stares with a vacant expression as you take your seat for an evening lecture. A man stands poised in front of the room. Curiosity swells through the crowd.

For some, the topic is completely new. For others, the topic is a deeply personal part of their culture. But the lecture itself is unconventional. Instead of presenting the work when it is done, it is presented as a rough draft. And it comes from an unpolished chapter of a boo
