  • 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.

    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.
