In this edition, ASU is in the top 10 for patents; meet Noelle the pregnant manikin and go behind the scenes of a crime scene at ASU West Valley campus.

In this edition, ASU's economic impact is at least the equivalent of 8 Super Bowls; the university opens its doors across all four campuses and the Friendship bench that is curbing loneliness on the Tempe campus.

Arizona State University is a comprehensive teaching, learning and discovery enterprise — more than 1 in 4 working Arizonans with at least a bachelor’s degree earned it from ASU —  but its benefits extend well beyond broadening the horizons of students and learners.

Our annual signature event, Open Door, has arrived. ASU uniquely opens the doors to our university and gives the community a peek at some of the future-focused research and happenings that take place on campus.

Elementary and middle school students are marching for freedom and equality, echoing the spirit of the historic March on Washington. They will hear a reenactment of the powerful “I Have a Dream” speech by civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.  The rendition of “I Have a Dream” will be performed by ASU faculty member Charles St. Clair.

The Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) has awarded the Arizona State University (ASU) Police Department $49,424 in grant monies for the mitigation of driving under the influence (DUI), excessive speeding, and pedestrian/bicycle related offenses.
