All of these events look great! As a student, it is always nice to real world issues and discussions integrated into our academic landscape. I hope to attend some of these, particularly the “Dispelling the Myths of the Beauty Queen” event on March 1st.
I hope to attend the International Jazz Day this April. I’ve seen ASU’s jazz band perform once before and was really impressed.
