Diving into downtown at Night of the Open Door

Night of the Open Door — five free events over the course of February — opens ASU's world to the public and shows off what each campus has to offer. On Friday, the Downtown Phoenix campus had its turn, welcoming visitors to step behind a news anchor desk, handle real body parts, learn about infant health, explore ASU's saltwater-aquarium lab and more.

Here's a glimpse of the fun in photo and video.

Check out the West campus' Night of the Open Door on Feb. 7 here — including a forensics crime scene, Rubik's Cube masters, and a dean who isn't afraid to flex some muscle.

If you missed the fun, don't worry: There are three more free Night of the Open Door events this month:

  • Polytechnic campus: 5-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19
  • Thunderbird campus: 4-8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20
  • Tempe campus: 4-9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27

Read more about what's in store at each campus here and here.
