    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.

It was my privilege to serve on the AMD executive committee for the past five years. The experience was quite humbling as I became intimately aware of the breadth and depth of the contributions of our community and the passion that we bring to our chosen field. Together with the other members of the executive committee, we collectively tackled several difficult issues faced by the division. This was a unique learning experience and I would like to thank the members of the committee who provided outstanding mentorship and friendship during this period: Larry Bergman, Huajian Gao, Peter Wriggers, Arun Shukla, Bala Balachandran, Yonggang Huang, Yuri Bazilevs, and Pradeep Guduru. Both Dennis Kochmann and Pedro Reis served as re- cording secretary and, later, Dennis also took over the role of the AMD newsletter editor. Aside from performing an outstanding job on these important responsibilities, they proved to be a fountain of creative ideas on how the AMD should function effectively.

  • 1 It Is a Tremendous Honor to Speak at the Applied Mechanics Dinner As This
    SuBra Suresh Timoshenko Medal Lecture ASME Applied Mechanics Dinner NovemBer 13, 2012, Houston, Texas It is a tremendous honor to speak at the Applied Mechanics Dinner as this year’s Timoshenko medalist. I was one year old when Prof. Stephen Timoshenko delivered the inaugural lecture in this series. I was a teenager when I first heard his name, and used his textbook on elasticity for my undergraduate class. I have been Blessed with the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and creative students, post-docs, visitors and collaborators in my research group. The recognition that I am receiving here is due in large part to their contriButions to mechanics, and I accept this honor on their Behalf. I am perhaps unique as a Timoshenko medalist in that, in addition to Being an active scientist, I am also the head of a large federal agency. Some colleagues have asked me how I feel Being away from academia in Washington. I am reminded of the story associated with Woodrow Wilson, who was president of Princeton University Before running for Governor of New Jersey and suBsequently for President of the United States. When asked By a reporter why he left his Ivy League school to go into Government, President Wilson is said to have replied, “So I don’t have to deal with politics anymore”. The Timoshenko lecture traditionally involves reflecting on one’s life journey and career. I honor that tradition tonight as I examine my journey, its twists and turns, and the many serendipitous events that have shaped my perspectives, values, research and career.

  • Report of the Chair
    Report of the Chair www.asme.org/divisions/amd SUMMER NEWS 2008 KENNETH M. LIECHTI, EDITOR Report of the Chair Timoshenko Medalist Awards & Medals Journal of Applied Mechanics News from the Technical Committees In Memoriam K. Ravi-Chandar It has been an honor and privilege for me to serve on the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD); the AMD is one of the oldest Technical Divisions in ASME, established eighty years ago by Timoshenko and colleagues. The experience of working closely with past members Pol Spanos, Mary Boyce, Wing-Kam Liu, and Tom Farris, as well as with current members Dan Inman, Zhigang Suo, Tayfun Tezduyar and Ares Rosakis during my five-year tenure on the Committee was extremely enjoyable and rewarding. The past year has been very eventful for the AMD and I hope to provide an update of the activities and status of the AMD in this newsletter. Reports of the Technical Committees, the Journal of Applied Mechanics and Applied Mechanics Reviews provide more specific details of these activities. The ASME has changed the structure of its annual Congresses, switching to a Track based system rather than the Technical Division based system of previous years; the 2007 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition was the first meeting under the new system. Under the new scheme, sessions were not pre-allocated to the Division, but were developed as a result of abstracts submitted to symposia organized by volunteers within the Technical Committees directly under the tracks. It also became difficult to determine the exact extent of AMD participation in the 2007 Congress.
