(Note: Sun Devil Athletics and the Cronkite Public Relations Lab formed a collaboration in the summer of 2020 to highlight ASU coach, staff, student-athlete and alumni stories. Through various features, the PR Lab students captured and celebrated the many personalities that have made the program so successful. This content has been showcased on the athletic department website, partner websites, social media and in related ASU newsletters and emails. The experience is rewarding for both the students and those who they have had the opportunity to interview and spotlight. Below is a compilation of the Cronkite students’ work. This page will be updated regularly with new content becomes available.)
