ASU to help feds with human trafficking problem

The Obama administration has selected ASU and several other universities to help combat human trafficking. Each college will offer their proposal through a national contest.

The challenge is designed to increase global awareness on human trafficking and galvanize students to create new technology to end modern slavery.

ASU is hosting a community-wide forum Wednesday. It starts at 4:30 p.m. at the Memorial Union. The contest ends Jan. 31, and the semifinalists from around the country will be announced in March.
