The importance of community and human connection has been a persistent theme at ASU this 2023–2024 academic year. And, in my research as a psychologist and a professor, sharing who we are and what inspires us is one proven way to foster connectedness. In that spirit, I’m closing 2023 with inspiring works from ASU faculty, students and beyond that have fueled me creatively this past year. May they inspire your new year, spark your creativity, and encourage you to foster connection with others around shared joys and interests. Happy 2024!
