Welcome to the University of Arizona!

On the Cover

Whether youre visiting campus as a pro-spective student, as a parent or as someonewho simply wants to know more about us,we hope this guide will give you an idea owhat a very unique place this is.

This year happens to mark our 125thbirthday. We were established in 1885,almost 30 years beore Ari-zona became a state, andbroke ground or our frstbuilding on land donatedby two gamblers and asaloon owner.

Humble beginningsindeed.

Today, were redefningwhat it means to be a 21stcentury land-grant univer-sity and moving toward be-

coming one o the 10 bestpublic research universities in the country.What hasnt changed are our values, whichremain the same as they were back in thelate 19th century: to improve the lives opeople in Arizona and beyond through ourresearch and outreach. Youll get a goodidea o how were doing this by reading thestories in this issue:

When we opened the doors o OldMain in 1891, we werent using phrases likesustainability and climate change. Butthose are the concepts behind the con-struction o Old Main, which was designedwith deep porches and a partly recessed

frst oor to beat the heat practices thattoday are considered green. That traditioncontinues today at the College o Architec-ture and Landscape Architecture with theUnderwood Garden, an outdoor laboratoryeaturing methods that can be used in yourown landscape projects.See page 8.

I youre at all amiliar with Tucsonsummers, you probably know that it gets alittle warm around here. But we have waysor you to escape the heat and learn aboutthe University at the same time. Just headto one o many UA acilities nearby that arein cooler climes, such as Biosphere 2 or the

Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter.See page 12.Astronomy isnt the only science that

has helped us earn a spot as one o the

best public research universities in theUnited States. Were also a global leader inresearching cardiovascular disease, whichremains the nations No. 1 killer. The workhappening here is due in large part to pri-

vate support, which has helped the SarverHeart Center attract and retain world-class

physicians and researchers.See page 24.

A college campus can bea daunting environment orrecent high school graduates.Were trying to make thetransition easier by gettingkids here while theyre stillin elementary school via aprogram called Club Arizona.Membership grants them at-tendance at sporting events

plus special activities createdjust or them.See page 35.We get a lot o compliments on the

beauty o our campus. We cant take muchcredit or the gorgeous weather or theview o the majestic Santa Catalinas. Butwere more than happy to brag about ourarchitecture, including the award-winningHelen S. Schaeer Building, which housesthe Poetry Center.See page 42.

Arizona Stadium is home to morethan just the Arizona Wildcats ootballteam. Its also the location o the Labora-tory o Tree-Ring Research, which has theworlds largest collection o tree rings,including a specimen thats 10,000 yearsold.See page 48.

These stories are just the beginning.Theres a lot more to discover about theincredible work being done by our aculty,sta, students and alumni. I hope youllsee it frsthand by spending some timeenjoying our campus, meeting members oour diverse community and learning moreabout where the University o Arizonacame rom, where we are and where weregoing.

Regards,

Robert N. SheltonPresident

The University of Arizona opened the doors of its first building,Old Main, on Oct. 1, 1891. Besides classrooms, laboratories andoffices, there were temporary sleeping quarters for faculty andmale students, a kitchen and mess hall, space for a territorialweather bureau, and a darkroom. Running on the balcony was ano-no and cost the offending student 10 demerits.

Privately unded endowments andannual support have positionedthe University o Arizona s SarverHeart Center as a global leaderin researching the nations No. 1killer, cardiovascular disease.

The margin o excellence pri-vate support provides at a publicresearch university cannot be over-

stated, said the centers director,Dr. GordonA. Ewy,who holdsthe GordonA. Ewy,MD, Dis-tinguishedEndowedChair orCardiovascu-lar Medicine.O the 92

endowed chairs at the UA, 10 are atthe Sarver Heart Center.

Endowments have allowed theSarver Heart Center to attract andretain top cardiovascular physi-cians and researchers who, in turn,have been successul in securingmajor research unding.

Traditional unding sources, in-cluding revenue rom patient careand state unding, barely supportclinical, administrative and teach-

ing activities. Thats why privateunding is so important to advanc-ing the prevention and cure o car-diovascular diseases.

Without endowments, the Sarv-er Heart Center would be rathermediocre, Ewy said. But thanksto endowments and the donorswho have created them, we haveachieved an internationally out-standing reputation.

Over the past three decades,

The Sarver Heart Center is located at the Arizona Health Sciences Center, which is just north of

the main UA campus.

ar the No. 1 cause o mortality, theNo. 1 killer in the United States andthe industrialized world, Ewy said.

Most recently, the Sarver HeartCenter is transorming the way themedical community looks at cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Doctorsand basic physiology researchers

at the UA have developed new

methods that not only improvebystander CPR, but also how emer-gency medical service responderstreat patients in cardiac arrest.

In what began as research look-ing at electrical defbrillation tech-niques, the Sarver Heart Center Re-suscitation Research Group madea shocking discovery. The groupound that CPR using continuouschest compressions rather than

the long-accepted combination ocompressions and mouth-to-mouthventilations is superior at savinglives.

Combining compression-onlyCPR with modifed protocols orparamedics and other proession-als, a new approach called Cardio-cerebral Resuscitation has tripledsurvival rates.

thanks to endowments

and the donors who have

created them, we have

achieved an internationally

outstanding reputation.

Dr. Gordon A. Ewy

We have already saved hun-dreds o lives in areas where thistechnique was implemented thisapproach will have a truly majorworldwide impact, Ewy said.

However, obtaining unding orbreakthrough research, especiallyprojects that contradict widely

accepted medical science, is in-creasingly difcult. Today, only4 percent o unding requests orcardiovascular disease researchto the National Institutes o Healthreceive unding.

In this increasingly competitiveenvironment, preliminary data thatstrongly supports the need or ad-ditional research is paramount towinning grant awards.

Thats why endowed acultychairs are essential to recruitingaculty with the best potential omaking uture breakthroughs.

The most recent example is Dr.Aiden Abidov, an academic imag-ing cardiologist recruited over thesummer. Without an endowed chairto support his research, he wouldhave pursued academic opportuni-ties elsewhere, Ewy said.

Looking ahead, two o the cen-ters priorities include expandingthe clinical component o the Heart

Disease in Women Program and ad-dressing the growing health crisiso pre-diabetes and diabetes.

As in the past, private donorswill play a crucial role in aiding oureorts to improve the quality o lieor Arizonans and people aroundthe globe, Ewy said.

By hosting kids on campus for activities ranging

from sports to science, Club Arizona hopes to

create connections that bring them back when

its time for college.

Annalize Estrella has a plan. Shewants to attend the University oArizona, get a degree and teach

second grade. O course, shellhave to fnish elementary schoolfrst, and then junior high and highschool.

Granted, the 9-year-old utureWildcat has a ew years to go be-ore she can call the UA home.Until then, one University club isworking to keep Estrella, and otherTucson kids, connected to campus.

Club Arizona, based in the UAathletics department, sponsorsand promotes youth events andactivities throughout the year orstudents in grades K-12.

More than 1,000 students,mostly elementary aged, belong tothe club, which collaborates withmore than 40 campus departmentsto coordinate or share news aboutspecial events, activities and Club

Arizona member discounts, saidCourtney Anthony, coordinatoror community service and specialevents or Arizona Athletics.

The club, which previouslywent by the names Cats Kids Cluband Junior Wildcat Club, once o-

Raising ArizonaWildcats

cused solely on involvingyouth in Arizona Athlet-ics events. However, it

changed its mission aboutthree years ago, as theresult o a joint eort be-tween Arizona Athleticsand the Ofce o Enroll-ment, to become moreinclusive o all campusevents. It was renamedClub Arizona.

The idea was to createa club that would helpconnect kids with a widerange o diverse activitieson campus, rom sportingevents to science activi-ties to arts and culturalperormances, said Anthony, whooversees the club.

Our whole purpose is to con-nect kids with college, Anthonysaid. The more a child is on cam-

pus and exposed to that envi-ronment, the more likely theyare to attend college.

In October, the club co-

hosted, along with the UAsStudent-Athlete AdvisoryCommittee, an event calledHalloween Spooktacular,which invited costumed

youngsters to campus to trick-or-trick at tables staed by UA stu-dent-athletes. Club members couldthen attend a womens volleyballgame or just $1.

Dressed as a Spanish dancer,Estrella was one o about 200 kids

who attended the event. A soc-cer player hersel, she said sheenjoyed meeting UA athletes andspending time on campus.

Its a very big campus, and I getconused where to go sometimes,but its a good campus, the third-grader said.

Estrellas mother, Julie, said sheappreciates that Club Arizona ex-

poses students to an environmentthey might otherwise not get toexperience.

It gives them something toshoot or, she said.

Anthony said the club is an es-pecially useul tool in reaching outto children, in Tucson and outlyingareas, who might not be thinkingabout or have ready access toinormation about attending col-

Students in grades K-12 are invited to attend a variety ofyouth events on the UA campus through Club Arizona.
