This “after-party” will feature a glow-in-the-dark scavenger hunt, volleyball, ice cream, snacks, and a dance party. ASU will provide transportation to and from the Hyatt Regency Phoenix and will set up scavenger hunt teams, then it’s your turn to find your way around campus landmarks and collect glowing prizes — if you complete the required tasks.
