How it works

The Student Stories Project helps ASU students “come together” virtually by sharing their writing, drawings, doodles and experiences.

Students are not obligated to follow every prompt — feel free to participate on your own terms. Together, we hope to foster a sense of community in a safe, virtual space.

Prompts

Review the prompt for each day to inspire your writing, drawing, creating, etc! Use the hashtag #StudentStoriesASU if you share your work on social media.
