In the past, The Best of ASU has been an opportunity for writers to dissect our University for what it excels in — and where it falls short. For the final issue of Volume 26, carrying this longstanding tradition of examining our community, our peers and our authorities felt like the perfect closure to another year of ‘bold, risk-taking and provoking’ work. We hope this magazine allows you to reflect on the pressing matters around us as we navigate this current day and age.
Reporters spread far and wide in their coverage of this issue. Some examined the University’s history, both politically and architecturally. One writer highlighted an ASU icon’s legacy, while another satirized a prominent aspect of student-life. Other stories delved into heavier topics, like strides toward innovation and the campus’ online dating scene. Our feature story investigates the frustrations and obstacles animation majors are facing.
