  • Arizona State University June 30, 2005 Financial Report
    2005 FINANCIAL REPORT On the front cover Clockwise from the top – In August 2004 ASU welcomed 58,156 students to its campuses. Included were 162 National Merit Scholars and over 7,700 fi rst time freshmen. More than 27% of the fi rst time freshmen on the campuses were rated in the top 10% of their high school graduating classes. During the past 11 years ASU has had more students than any other public university selected for the USA Today’s ranking of the nation’s top 20 undergraduates. When compared against private universities, ASU ranks 3rd overall in students selected for this ranking. ASU’s student population represents all 50 states and more than 140 nations. As a part of the University’s initiatives to enhance the freshmen classroom experience, the average class size of core freshmen classes, such as English composition and college algebra courses, has been reduced. ASU’s Barrett Honors College is considered among the top honors colleges in the nation and selectively recruits academically outstanding undergraduates. In the 2004/2005 academic year ASU had one of the largest classes of freshmen National Merit Scholars of any public university. ASU is committed to community outreach through its schools and colleges, non academic departments, and student organizations. Often these programs involve interaction with local schools or neighborhoods. Programs include helping American Indian students who have an interest in health care programs explore those interests in the nursing, math, and science fi elds; exposing the children of migrant farm workers to various technology programs and equipment; providing professional development resources to Arizona’s K 12 teachers through a web portal; and preparing minority engineering students for the college experience.

    BUILDING INTEGRITY SINCE 1890 The Remarkable History of Sundt Construction SUNDT CONSTRUCTION, INC. / 800.280.3000 / SUNDT.COM Chapter One From Small Beginnings Mauritz MAURITZ MARTINSEN SUNDT, founder of the company that bears his name, was Martinsen Sundt born in Gjovik, Norway, on October 3, 1863, and grew up on the family farm near Eina, which is south of Gjovik. Th e farm is on a point of land on the east coast of Lake Mjosa, about 70 miles due north of the capitol city of Oslo, and has been in the Sundt family for 400 years. Lake Mjosa is Norway’s largest lake and is extremely deep, one of the deepest lakes in all of Europe. From Farmer to Ship’s Carpenter Norway has always been a hard place to earn a living off the land because less than fi ve percent of the entire country is arable. Th e rest is mountains covered with snow, ice and rocks. Nothing has been written about the Sundt farm’s crops but it likely was a subsistence farm, meaning everything the family raised was consumed by the family and livestock. What is known, though, is that M.M. Sundt left home very early in life. It was about 1877, when he was 12 or 13, that he left home to join the Norwegian Merchant Marine. He apparently sailed fi rst as a cabin boy, but he was ambitious and within a short time was appointed ship’s carpenter when the ship’s regular carpenter died. For the next four years he sailed aboard windjammers on the North and Baltic Seas, transporting freight between England and Leningrad and ports between.

    Capital Improvement Plan 2018-2020 FISCAL YEARS 2018-2020 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS SEPTEMBER 2016 Dear Members of the Arizona Board of Regents: On behalf of Arizona State University, I am pleased to present the ASU FY 2018-2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). ASU continues to make meaningful progress in its evolution as a model for 21st century higher education, dedicated to access, excellence and impact. In keeping with the ambitious trajectory reflected in the ASU Strategic Enterprise Framework and the ASU Campus Master Plan, the projects proposed in this CIP focus on addressing the need for sustainable facilities that support the achievement of our institutional objectives. For this CIP, ASU has set as an FY 2018 priority a new, energy-efficient parking structure that will be located adjacent to the core of the Tempe campus and downtown Tempe. The multi-tiered structure will replace existing surface parking that will be displaced by planned new development on this site. This project is intended to provide students, faculty and staff with a high-quality facility that will enable their success and support the key elements of ASU’S Strategic Enterprise Framework, including: - Achieving a 57 percent increase in degree production - Establishing national standing in academic quality and the impact of colleges and schools in every field - Enhancing local impact and social embeddedness - Expanding research performance to $815 million in annual research expenditures by 2025 Details regarding this proposed project can be found in the Three-Year Capital Improvement Plan and the FY 2018 Project Description tab.

    PROGRAM & VISITORS GUIDE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON URBANIZATION AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Opportunities & Challenges for Sustainability in an Urbanizing World ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY TEMPE, ARIZONA, USA OCTOBER 15-17, 2010 Welcome! Dear conference participants, We welcome you to the first International Conference on Urbanization and Global Environmental Change, Opportunities and Challenges for Sustainability in an Urbanizing World. Over the last five years, the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) community has grown rapidly and generated new understandings of the relationships between urbanization and the global environment. This conference is an exciting opportunity to bring together communities of academics, decision- makers, and practitioners at local, regional, and global scales in order to take stock of UGEC science and practice. Conference participants come from 40 countries and presentation topics range from the role of higher education as a catalyst for sustainability to urban vegetation, and socio-ecological contexts for urban sustainability. We have also included special sessions such as the one on the 2014 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report and UGEC research. We want to encourage interactions and dialogue between the participants during plenaries, parallel sessions and breaks; we clearly recognize the added-value of providing such opportunities and have designed our conference structure accordingly. On Saturday, October 17th, we will hold a joint-conference day with the IHDP Global Land Project, under the theme, “Sustainable Land Systems in the Era of Urbanization and Climate Change.” The goal of this day is to strengthen existing relationships and build new networks among urban and land- change specialists to foster more collaboration worldwide, expanding the range of issues addressed.

    ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Arizona State University is one of the premier metro- politan public research universities in the nation. Enrolling more than 64,000 undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional students on four campuses in metropolitan Phoenix, ASU maintains a tradition of academic excellence in core disciplines, and has become an important global center for innovative interdisciplinary teaching and research. Arizona State offers outstanding resources for study and research, including libraries and museums with important collections, studios and performing arts spaces for creative endeavor, and unsurpassed state-of-the-art scientific and technological laboratories and research facilities. ASU’s historic campus in Tempe, which serves more than 51,000 students, offers the feel of a college town in the midst of a dynamic metropolitan region. The West campus, in northwest Phoenix, and Polytechnic campus, in Mesa, which each serve more than 8,500 students, offer more specialized missions. The Downtown Phoenix campus opened in fall 2006 as part of a larger plan to revitalize the city’s urban core. Nestled in the heart of downtown Phoenix, the campus provides an academically rigorous university experience in a modern, urban atmosphere. The campus serves more than 6,500 students and is expected to ultimately grow to 15,000 by 2020. ASU is research-driven but focused on learning – the United States. ASU has the most undergraduates (11) The university is international in scope, welcoming teaching is carried out in a context that encourages the named to USA Today’s Academic First Team of any public students from all 50 states and nations across the globe, creation of new knowledge.
