  • 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.

This is the Tempe Historical Museum’s renovation interview with James Yeater, former Theater department head at Arizona State University. Let’s begin. Can you tell me please when you first came to ASU, and what made you choose ASU as an employer? JY: I came in 1958. At that time, I had two choices, I guess. One with a college in northern Michigan, almost to Canada, and the other one was Arizona State College. No particular choice too much, but it seemed like climate-wise, this would be a little better choice. It also seemed . In those days, we did not have interviews. You didn’t go to the campus to be interviewed. You were lucky to get a phone call and learn a little bit about it. And the Theater program here seemed rather similar to one I had had as an undergraduate; that is, with about four or five courses, and it was still called Drama then rather than Theater, and with doing plays with the student body as a whole rather than a part of any professionally-developed system. I was familiar with that, so it seemed like a good choice. But I guess, basically, it was sort of an opportunity. INT: Can you tell me just a little bit about what brought you into the drama and theater career path? What initially sparked your interest in it? JY: Actually, I think I started out in other things, but began to—I’m sure this is the common pattern of many—began to work, to be in plays and dramatic presentations and debate and so forth.

  • BUILDING INTEGRITY SINCE 1890 the Remarkable History of Sundt Construction
    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.

  • The Desert Aesthetic of Frank Lloyd Wright: a Comparison of Taliesin West and Grady Gammage Auditorium
    1 The Desert Aesthetic of Frank Lloyd Wright: A Comparison of Taliesin West and Grady Gammage Auditorium The city of Phoenix Arizona is famously named for the legendary bird that died and was regenerated from its ashes. It is here that Frank Lloyd Wright traveled in February 1928 to assist in the planning of the Biltmore Hotel. Already Wright’s life seemed to parallel the myth of the Phoenix with its tale of fiery death followed by glorious rebirth. In 1914 Wright had endured the destruction by fire of his Wisconsin residence, Taliesin, and the murder of his companion and her children during that same disastrous event. He had weathered a failed first marriage, social ostracism brought on by his subsequent affair with his client ((Mamah Borthwick, the murder victim), another fire in 1925, and professional and financial setbacks. Yet, at over sixty years of age, newly married to a woman thirty years younger than himself, he would begin his encounter with the Arizona desert, a love affair that, like that with Olgivanna, would last the rest of his life. It took ten years for Wright to establish roots near Phoenix and he did so just in time to witness its transformation from a sleepy farming center surrounded by pristine desert to the burgeoning metropolis it showed signs of becoming by the time he died in 1959. When Wright first visited in late 1928, Phoenix had a population of just under 50,000 inhabitants. By 1960, that number had more than doubled and Phoenix was well on its way to status as a major American city.
