The Best of ASU is a longstanding tradition in SPM history. Its recurrence is driven by our desire to dedicate one issue per volume to the community we embed ourselves in year after year. With it being the last issue of the volume, we also use it as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, covering moments that encompass this current era.
In this issue, one writer shed light on notorious food vendor, Aramark, while another writer looked into architecture on campus. A pair of writers analyzed past and present sentiments on ASU’s party scene, while another pair shared their insight on the queer community. Our managing editors also put their heads together to dissect the University’s charter in terms of students with disabilities. Two writers shared insights, one as a bookworm and another as a transfer student. We collected questions from students for an advice column, and our satirist mimicked ASU’s PR team. Finally, our feature story covers arguably the biggest part of ASU culture this year, football.
