Memorial Union Holiday Coffee
Since 1955, the Holiday Coffee has served as an annual celebration of community and tradition for Arizona State University at the Tempe campus for students, faculty, staff, and retirees. The coffee is regarded as a yearly opportunity to greet friends from all segments of campus as well as old friends who return to campus for the annual event. This free event is one of the longest-running traditions at ASU and is typically held the week prior to fall semester finals.
Tillman Honor Runs
The ASU Alumni Association, in partnership with the Pat Tillman Foundation, coordinates the annual Tillman Honor Runs around the U.S. each April to honor the legacy and impact of former Sun Devil and Army Ranger Pat Tillman. These 4.2-mile fun runs and walks are hosted by ASU Alumni chapters and clubs in multiple cities across the U.S. The 4.2-mile race route planned in each city represents the No. 42 Pat wore on his jersey as a Sun Devil scholar-athlete. Family runs are open to all ages and all participants receive a medal and a Pat’s Run race shirt. By registering for a local run, funds are raised for the Pat Tillman Foundation's Tillman Scholars program, which helps our nation’s active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses achieve their dream education.
