Arizona State University alumnus Dylan Park-Pettiford has spent most of his life caught between worlds. His search for meaning and the long, uneven road that followed brings him back to ASU, where he will share the story of how war, loss and a lifetime between identities shaped the man he became.

Nearly 650 Sun Devils have served in the ASU Next Generation Service Corps, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. Many of them have gone on to careers in public service. And the program has seen exponential growth recently — this year alone, 488 ASU students are participating in the corps.
