Arizona State University Arizona State University From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaNot to be confused with University of Arizona. Arizona State University (commonly referred to as ASU or Arizona State) is a public flagship metropolitan research university[8] located on five campuses across the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area,[9][10] and four regional learning centers throughout Arizona. The 2016 university ratings by U.S. News & World Report rank ASU No. 1 among the Most Innovative Schools in America.[11] ASU is the largest public university by enrollment in the U.S.[12] Current ASU President Michael Crow introduced the concept of One university in many places in 2004 to reflect the universitys growth. ASU now comprises 16 colleges and schools that offer more personalized experiences for students, while offering opportunities to collaborate across disciplines and campuses. ASU's charter, approved by the board of regents in 2014, is based on the "New American University" model created by Crow. It defines ASU as a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but rather by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves. ASU is classified as a research university with very high research activity (RU/VH) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Since 2005 ASU has been ranked among the top research universities, public and private, in the U.S. based on research output, innovation, development, research expenditures, number of awarded patents and awarded research grant proposals. The Center for Measuring University Performance currently ranks ASU 31st among top U.S. public research universities.[13] ASU was classified as a Research I institute in 1994, making it one of the newest major research universities (public or private) in the nation.[14][15][16] Students compete in 25 varsity sports.[17][18][19] The Arizona State Sun Devils are members of the Pac-12 Conference and have won 23 NCAA championships. Along with multiple athletic clubs and recreational facilities, ASU is home to more than 1,100 registered student organizations, reflecting the diversity of the student body.[20] To keep pace with the growth of the student population, the university is continuously renovating and expanding infrastructure. The demand for new academic halls, athletic facilities, student recreation centers, and residential halls is being addressed with donor contributions and public-private investments.[21][22] ASU's residential halls accommodate one of the largest residential populations in the nation.[23][24] Contents1 History1.1 188519291.2 193019891.3 1990present2 Organization and administration3 Campuses and locations3.1 Tempe campus3.2 West campus3.3 Polytechnic campus3.4 Downtown Phoenix campus3.5 ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu City3.6 ASU Online3.7 ASU-Mayo Medical School Campus4 Academics4.1 Admissions4.2 Academic programs4.3 Rankings4.4 Research and Institutes4.5 Libraries5 Sustainability6 Traditions6.1 Maroon and gold6.2 Mascot and Spirit Squad6.3 A Mountain6.4 Lantern Walk and Homecoming6.5 Victory Bell6.6 Sun Devil Marching Band, Devil Walk and Songs of the University7 Student life7.1 Extracurricular programs7.2 Student media7.3 Student government8 Athletics9 People9.1 Alumni9.2 Faculty10 Presidential Visits11 Controversies11.1 Sexual assault investigation12 Notes13 Overseas Partner Universities14 References15 External linksHistoryMain article: History of Arizona State University President Theodore Roosevelt addresses a crowd of students on the steps of the Old Main at Arizona State University, March 20, 1911.18851929 Old Main on the Arizona State University campus, circa 1890 Arizona State University was established as the Territorial Normal School at Tempe on March 12, 1885, when the 13th Arizona Territorial Legislature passed an act to create a normal school to train teachers for the Arizona Territory. The campus consisted of a single, four-room schoolhouse on a 20- acre plot largely donated by Tempe residents George and Martha Wilson. Classes began with 33 students on February 8, 1886. The curriculum evolved over the years and the name was changed several times; the institution was also known as Arizona Territorial Normal School (18891896), Arizona Normal School (18961899), Normal School of Arizona (18991901), and Tempe Normal School (19011925). The school accepted both high school students and graduates, and awarded high school diplomas and teaching certificates to those who completed the requirements.[25][26][26][27] In 1923 the school stopped offering high school courses and added a high school diploma to the admissions requirements. In 1925 the school became the Tempe State Teachers College and offered four-year Bachelor of Education degrees as well as two-year teaching certificates. In 1929, the legislature authorized Bachelor of Arts in Education degrees as well, and the school was renamed the Arizona State Teachers College.[25][26] Under the 30-year tenure of president Arthur John Matthews the school was given all-college student status. The first dormitories built in the state were constructed under his supervision. Of the 18 buildings constructed while Matthews was president, six are still currently in use. Matthews envisioned an "evergreen campus," with many shrubs brought to the campus, and implemented the planting of Palm Walk, now a landmark of the Tempe campus. His legacy is being continued to this day with the main campus having been declared a nationally recognized arboretum.[28] During the Great Depression, Ralph W. Swetman was hired as president for a three-year term.[29] Although enrollment increased by almost 100 percent during his tenure due to the depression, many faculty were terminated and faculty salaries were cut.[30] 19301989 ASU's Gammage Auditorium, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright In 1933, Grady Gammage, then president of Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff, became president of ASU, a tenure that would last for nearly 28 years. Like his predecessor, Gammage oversaw construction of a number of buildings on the Tempe campus. He also oversaw the development of the university, graduate programs. The school's name was changed to Arizona State College in 1945, and finally to Arizona State University in 1958. By the 1960s, with the presidency of G. Homer Durham, the University began to expand its academic curriculum by establishing several new colleges and beginning to award Doctor of Philosophy and other doctoral degrees.[31] The next three presidentsHarry K. Newburn, 196971, John W. Schwada, 197181, and J. Russell Nelson, 198189and Interim President Richard Peck, 1989, led the university to increased academic stature, creation of the West campus, and rising enrollment. Example of a new academic village, taken at Barrett, The Honors College on the Tempe Campus1990present Under the leadership of Lattie F. Coor, president from 1990 to 2002, ASU grew through the creation of the Polytechnic campus and extended education sites. Increased commitment to diversity, quality in undergraduate education, research, and economic development occurred over his 12-year tenure. Part of Coor's legacy to the university was a successful fundraising campaign: through private donations, more than $500 million was invested in areas that would significantly impact the future of ASU. Among the campaign's achievements were the naming and endowing of Barrett, The Honors College, and the Katherine K. Herberger College of Fine Arts; the creation of many new endowed faculty positions; and hundreds of new scholarships and fellowships.[32] ASU's Biodesign Institute on Tempe campus In 2002, Michael M. Crow became the university's 16th president. At his inauguration, he outlined his vision for transforming ASU into a "New American University"[33] one that would be open and inclusive, and set a goal for the university to meet Association of American Universities criteria and to become a member.[10] Crow initiated the idea of transforming ASU into "One university in many places" a single institution comprising several campuses, sharing students, faculty, staff and accreditation. Subsequent reorganizations[34] combined academic departments, consolidated colleges and schools, and reduced staff and administration as the university expanded its West and Polytechnic campuses. ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus was also expanded, with several colleges and schools relocating there. The university established learning centers throughout the state, including the ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu City (official website) and programs in Thatcher, Yuma and Tucson. Students at these centers can choose from several ASU degree and certificate programs. During Crows tenure, and aided by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations, ASU began a years- long research facility capital building effort, resulting in the establishment of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University (official website), the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability (official website), and several large interdisciplinary research buildings. Along with the research facilities, the university faculty was expanded, including the addition of three Nobel Laureates.[35] Since 2002 the university's research expenditures have tripled and more than 1.5 million square feet of space has been added to the university's research facilities.[36] The economic downturn that began in 2008

  • 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.

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.
