Over 75 students participated in the first Crisis Response Game, a disaster simulation to experiment with the use of social media in crisis situations for data collection, task allocation and response coordination, and identify ways that relief organizations can more effectively track and analyze information using social-media based tools like TweetTracker and ACT to collaboratively respond to a real disaster. The project was coordinated by Huan Liu, professor in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, and students in his Data Mining and Machine Learning Lab, along with partners including Humanity Road (an NGO), NSWCDD, Joint Staff, ONR and CMU.

Students and guests view the thesis exhibition of Elise Deringer, a MFA candidate in fibers, during the opening reception for her solo show, "Perception & Passage" at the Harry Wood Gallery in the School of Art building on ASU's Tempe campus. Deringer defines herself as a textile-based sculptor whose work focuses on filters, containers, and the idea of a permeable, indefinable border as a place where opposing states (and states of mind) come together to become something new.
