More than 1,000 student clubs and organizations provide an opportunity for every student to become involved.
The student–led Derby Devils roller derby club at ASU is an inclusive group of students who have fun roller skating and competing in Arizona.
If you are not familiar with roller derby, the Derby Devils will show you the ropes. The sport is partly about speed and partly about strength and blocking. Two teams skate around a track and earn points by sending one player from each team to pass the “pack” of other players who are trying to block the other team and let their point-scoring “jammer” player earn points for each time they lap the pack.
Neurobiology major and president of the Derby Devils Katherine Knipp, 19, said the sport presented an unexpected opportunity for her to grow.
“One by one I got to know the people on the team, and as I came out of my shell, my abilities grew. It wasn't just about the sport. In the end it was about how powerful and bold it made me feel. I was finally tough and confident to hold my own,” Knipp said.

Stephanie Cahill, a junior studying psychology at ASU, is trying to build awareness and understanding about the effects of concussions and brain trauma. Cahill had three concussions between the ages of 14 and 16 playing volleyball, which prevented her from pursuing the sport and also affected her academics and mental health.
“I didn’t feel like I could look in the mirror and know who I was anymore,” Cahill said of the concussion. “This lack of identity and constant struggle with daily activities caused me to experience large amounts of depression and anxiety.”
At ASU she serves as the president of the student group Active Minds, which aims to reduce the stigma around mental health issues.
