Stand Down events are crucial initiatives designed to help traumatized Veterans overcome homelessness and reintegrate into society. These three-day gatherings provide essential medical, dental, and legal services, but their primary impact lies in restoring a vital sense of community. Founder Dr. John Natchison aptly describes them as a "drug-free Woodstock combined with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and a family picnic."

With over 300 events across the U.S., Stand Down mobilizes 2,000 volunteers to welcome 1,000 Veterans at each session. Recognizing that Veterans disproportionately experience trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, and homelessness, these events foster the community and connection necessary for them to recover their purpose and passion.

Lichens, a complex symbiosis of fungi and algae, are now recognized as intricate micro-ecosystems. Despite their ecological importance, these diverse organisms are often overlooked. They thrive in varied habitats, from lush forests to the Sonoran Desert, which alone supports over a third of North America's lichen species.

Join lichen expert Dr. Frank Bungartz for a Speaker Series talk exploring what lichens are, where they are found, and their fundamental role in ecosystems. Dr. Bungartz, Collections Manager at ASU's Lichen Herbarium, will share insights from his extensive research on lichen diversity and function in regions like the Sonoran Desert, Galapagos, and Ecuador.
