FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Part One THE CONTEXT OF THE TASK FORCE REPORT The decade of the nineties was a period of significant change — and at times upheaval – for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMA). On several fronts the campus advanced its position as an important center for teaching, research and service to the public: • The Board of Higher Education selected UMass Amherst in 1997 as the home of the statewide honors college — Commonwealth College. The first class was enrolled in 1999. • For the past two years, UMass Amherst has been named one of the institutions offering the best value for the money in the Kaplan/Newsweek college guide, and this year was also listed as a leading school supporting diversity. • The 1995 National Research Council (NRC) ranking of research doctoral programs placed UMass Amherst in the top 25% nationally in Linguistics, Materials Science, Psychology, Computer Sciences, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

  • Memorial Resolution: Henry Koffler (1922-2018), Department of Biological Sciences
    MEMORIAL RESOLUTION: HENRY KOFFLER (1922-2018), DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Professor Henry Koffler, Head of the Purdue University Department of Biological Sciences from 1959 to 1975, passed away in Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at the age of 95. Professor Koffler, born in 1922 in Vienna, Austria, came alone to the U.S. at age 17 after the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1939, and began undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona in 1940 in Agricultural Chemistry, from which he graduated in 1943. He subsequently earned M. S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He joined the faculty of Purdue University in 1947 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1952, the youngest Full Professor at the University. He held a Fellowship in 1953 from the prestigious Guggenheim Foundation, and was the recipient of the Eli Lilly Award in Bacteriology and Immunology from the American Society of Bacteriology in 1957. He became the Head of the Department of Biological Sciences in 1959 at the age of 37, 12 years after obtaining his Ph.D. Leaving Purdue after 16 years as Head of Biological Sciences, he served as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at the University of Minnesota, Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and was appointed President of the University of Arizona in 1982, a position marked by distinctive academic achievements for the University until his retirement in 1991. Professor Koffler received Honorary Doctorate Degrees from Purdue, the University of Arizona, and Amherst College, as well as an appointment as Officer, Ordre des Palmes Académiques (France), and was selected as a Charter Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, and as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA RECORD Vol. LXXIX, No.2 July, 1986 ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THIS CATALOG CONCERNING CURRICULUM, FEES,AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. All colleges and departments establish certain academic requirements which must be met before a degree is granted. These requirements concern such things as curricula and courses, majors and minors, and campus residence. Advisors, directors, department heads and deans are available to help the student understand and arrange to meet these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. At the end of a student's course of study, if requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree will not be granted. For this reason it is important for each student to acquaint himself or herself with all regulations and to remain currently informed throughout his or her college career and to be responsible for completing requirements.

  • Final Printed Program and Abstracts
    2013 SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems 1 Final Program and Abstracts Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between mathematicians and applied scientists whose work involves dynamical systems. The goal of this group is to facilitate the development and application of new theory and methods of dynamical systems. The techniques in this area are making major contributions in many areas, including biology, nonlinear optics, fluids, chemistry, and mechanics. This activity group supports the web portal DSWeb, sponsors special sessions at SIAM meetings, organizes a biennial conference, and awards biennial prizes—the Jürgen Moser Lecture and the J. D. Crawford Prize. The activity group also sponsors the DSWeb Student Competition for tutorials on dynamical systems and its applications written by graduate and undergraduate students and recent graduates.
