Welcome to The University of Arizona!

On the Cover

Whether youre visiting campus as aprospective student, as the parent o thatstudent, or as someone who simply wantsto know more about us, wed like thisguide to give you an idea o what a very

unique place this is.Dont let our rain-harvesting cisterns

and solar panels ool you: Were a lotolder than we look. We were establishedin 1885, almost 30 years beore Arizonabecame a state, and broke ground orour frst building onland donated by twogamblers and a saloonowner.

Humble beginningsindeed. Today, wereexcited about defningwhat it means to bea modern land-grantuniversity. As we movetoward becoming oneo the 10 best publicresearch universities in the country, ourvalues remain the same as they were backin the late 19th century: to improve thelives o people in Arizona and beyondthrough our research and outreach. Youllget a taste or how were doing this byreading this guide. Here are a ew high-lights:

I this is your frst time to the South-west or even your hundredth takesome time to stop by the Arizona State

Museum, where youll be transportedthousands o years into the past. As thecountrys largest nonederal archaeologi-cal repository, the museum has more than20,000 boxes o artiacts everything romprehistoric tools to a pair o denturesrom the 1930s (see p. 9).

When we opened the doors o OldMain to our frst students in 1891, we o-ered two areas o study: agriculture andmining. Back then, o course, we didntknow about concepts like sustainabilityand climate change. But we did know itgets a bit on the warm side here. So whenOld Main was built, it was designed with

deep porches and a partly recessed frstoor eatures that today are consideredgreen construction practices. Weve con-

tinued that tradition across the years, andacross the campus. Some o our greenbuildings are highlighted in a sel-guidedtour (see p. 30) that I hope youll havetime to take while youre here.

The UA is about doing the right thingor the environment and or each other.A great example is a student leadershipprogram (see p. 12) we developed that isnow a national model or NCAA schools.This innovative program not only teachesstudent-athletes to make good choices intheir own lives but how to step up andtake action when others are in trouble.

A new clinic were opening at theArizona Health Sciences Center (see p.47) will be the only outpatient pediatriccenter in Southern Arizona dedicated tohelping children with neurological prob-lems. The PANDA Childrens NeurologicalCenter will bring together UA specialistsin pediatrics, neonatology, epilepsy andother areas to provide coordinated care and the best course o treatment orthese kids and their amilies.

Clinics and classrooms arent theonly places where were improving lives.In act, weve been doing some o thiswork right inside the homes o SouthernArizonans or hal a century. Arizona Pub-lic Media the home o our public radioand television stations has been oeringeducational and entertainment program-ming since 1959 and today its television

station KUAT Channel 6 is one o themost watched and most supported in theUnited States (see p. 20).

These stories are just the beginning. Ihave tons more to share about the incred-ible things being done by our aculty, staand students. But I think Ill instead giveyou a chance to see it or yoursel. Pleasespend some time enjoying our campus,meeting members o our diverse commu-nity and learning more about where TheUniversity o Arizona came rom, wherewe are and where were going.

Regards,

Robert N. SheltonPresident

Dedicated in December, the Richard Jefferson Gymnasium offers20,000 square feet of athletics practice space. Part of a project thatalso included expanding the Mary Roby Gymnastics Training Centerand constructing the Kasser Family Pool within the Hillenbrand Aquat-ic Center, the gym is named for former UA basketball player RichardJefferson, who donated $3.5 million to help fund its construction.

At frst glance, the repository othe Arizona State Museum can be abit overwhelming, with its trays oartiacts, stacks o boxes and pileso fles. But repository curator Ar-thur Vokes, along with his assistantand a team o student employeesand volunteers, knows theres aplace or everything, and every-thing has its place.

As the nations largest noned-eral archaeological repository, the

Arizona State Museum boasts animpressive array o artiacts be-yond what visitors normally get tosee in the acilitys display cases.

Established in 1984 as the statesofcial repository, the museumis charged under the Arizona An-tiquities Act with receiving andmanaging any archaeologicalmaterials discovered on Arizonastate lands. Artiacts unearthed inarcheological excavations arrive ina relatively regular stream, with therepository processing between 700

Everything rom prehistorictools and pottery shards to brokendishes and old soda bottles are la-beled, cataloged and stored, alongwith documentation relevant totheir origin.

The repository is an importantresource or archaeologists andresearchers in Tucson and acrossthe globe, who can access the col-

lections or study.Its not just the artiacts therepository takes. Its the maps,the notes and that inormationis invaluable, said Bill Doelle,president o the Tucson archaeol-ogy company Desert ArchaeologyInc. and president o the nonproftCenter or Desert Archaeology.Having them there at the reposi-tory to re-evaluate is an incredibleresource.

Fromtop to bottom: A set of 109 shell beads datingback to A.D. 1000-1075; a side-notched Cienegstyle point dating back to 400 B.C. to A.D. 50; apendant of turquoise and argillite on shell datiback to A.D. 1150-1300.

The majority o the fnds about60 percent brought in by archae-ologists are pottery, Vokes said.Stone artiacts make up the bulk o

the rest, with some bone and shellpieces mixed in. Then there are theoccasional oddball, and more mod-ern, discoveries like a pair o den-tures rom the 1930s and a whole,unbroken 1920s light bulb with theflament still intact.

Pieces worthy o public displayare plucked rom storage or in-clusion in Arizona State Museumexhibits or are loaned to other mu-seums.

Many repository items are parto the museums prehistoric jew-elry exhibit, Set in Stone: 2,000Years o Gem and Mineral Trade inthe Southwest, on display throughFebruary. The museum is alsohome to the worlds largest collec-tion o Southwest American Indianpottery, with more than 20,000whole vessels, many o which areon display as part o the ongoingexhibit The Pottery Project.

and inventoried electronically, aspart o an ongoing eort to create apublicly searchable database o themuseums collections.

Much o the work is done by UAundergraduate and graduate stu-dents.

For those students, who repre-sent a variety o academic disci-plines on campus, the opportunityto work with museum collectionsbehind the scenes can be impor-

tant career development.Rachel Hessick, a student cura-torial assistant, categorizes arti-acts as they come into the reposi-tory. Her work in the museum ishelping her prepare or a potentialcareer in museum education.

The most valuable thing Ivelearned, as an archaeology student,is the importance o what happensto artiacts ater theyre dug up,Hessick said. Its getting me amil-iar with museums and the educa-

tion process.

Arizonas historic and prehistoriccultures, the museum attracts re-searchers rom across the globe.

Most states dont have the rich-ness o the archaeological recordin the sense o having thousands oyears o occupational history thatis still essentially intact, Vokessaid.

As growth and development con-tinue statewide, bringing ongoingexcavations o potential buildingsites, unearthed archaeologicaltreasures will continue to comeinto the repository, he said.

Beore an archaeological projecton state lands can get under way,companies must receive a permitand a repository agreement ortheir work, which is also handledthrough the Arizona State Museum.The museum issues agreementsor anywhere rom 70 to 100 proj-ects a year, Vokes said, and oncearchaeologists excavations andreports are complete, they pay themuseum a ee to manage and storetheir fnds.

and come to the aid o others introuble.

Nine out o 10 students wantto do the right thing, but may nothave the skills or confdence, andwe want to help, says Becky Bell,associate athletics director at theUA, who spearheaded the develop-ment o the STEP UP! Be a Leader,Make a Dierence! program.

Dubbed A Prosocial Behavior/Bystander Intervention Programor Student-Athletes, STEP UP! o-cuses specifcally on the bystandereect, a well-known phenomenon

in social psychology in which an in-dividual is less likely to help some-one in need when a large group opeople are present. The tendencyto think that someone else willtake care o the problem can leadto dangerous outcomes, which theSTEP UP! program aims to prevent,Bell says.

Skills Program, consulted withexperts across the country in thevarious topic areas covered by theprogram to develop a curriculumthat would reach students in amore meaningul way than a simplelecture on right and wrong.

Developed in partnership with

the NCAA, the STEP UP! materialshave been sent to every athleticsprogram in the NCAA, establish-ing the UA-initiated program as anational model or student-athleteleadership training.

About 350 UA student-athleteshave completed the interactivetraining since its launch in 2007.Athletes in all sports are encour-aged to participate, and somecoaches have even made it a re-

quirement, Bell said.Athletes attend a three-hour,on-campus training session, whichincludes an interactive PowerPointpresentation, ollowed by a break-out session that allows groups ostudents to talk through possiblereal-lie situations in which theirintervention could make a positivedierence. Each student receives apaperback Student-Athlete Guide,flled with examples o scenarioswhere they might be able to help,

including situations involving al-cohol, hazing, relationship abuse,eating disorders, depression, dis-crimination and more. The booklet

identifes several Strategies orEective Helping in emergencyand nonemergency situations andoutlines The 5 Decision MakingSteps: notice the event, interpretthe event as a problem/emergency,

assume personal responsibility,

know how to help, and implementthe help or step up.Its a great awareness program,

said UA student Pat Metham, amember o the UA mens tennisteam who went through the train-ing. Now I can recognize a situa-tion that needs intervention; itsmuch easier to pick up on it. It alsohelps people realize even one per-son can make a dierence, and thatthe impact wont go unnoticed.

Scott Goldman, a clinical and

sports psychologistwho works with stu-dent-athletes at the

UA, said the STEPUP! programis valuablebecause o itsproactive ap-proach, whichencouragesstudents to re-ally think about

the impacts otheir behaviorwithout usingstern lecturesor scare tacticsto get the mes-

sage across.What were trying to do is pro-

mote healthy behavior and developa community that looks out oreach other, he said. Were tryingto encourage our student-athletes

not only to be responsible and re-spectul but also to be leaders inthe community.

With peer pressure an undeni-able part o college lie, the pro-gram is a helpul reminder or stu-dents to make good choices, saidone student-athlete who completed

the training.It really opens your eyes about

what kinds o situations arent OK,said Maggie Callahan, a member othe UA cross country and track andfeld teams.

Especially going into college,everyones trying to ft in andtheyre not necessarily going toleave their comort zone to help,she added.

Callahan is one o about 35

student-athletes in the UAs P.A.L.,or Peer Athletic Leaders, program,which Bell advises. The peer men-toring group is designed to helpreshmen athletes make the transi-tion into college.

Teammate and ellow P.A.L.member Shelly Splittberger saidSTEP UP! helped provide her withvaluable inormation to pass alongto younger students.

Freshmen are always so willingto learn and look up to people soits such a beneft or upperclass-men to go through the program,she said.

Splittberger also appreciatesthat the program brings togetherathletes rom all dierent sports oncampus or a community-buildingexperience.

Although STEP UP! originallywas designed or the student-ath-lete population, Bell notes that theprograms teachings are universally

applicable, and many other schoolsacross the country are adaptingthe program or use in divisionslike Greek lie, residence lie, sexualassault centers and student aairs.

Bell said she hopes the programwill continue to grow, encouragingmore people to take responsibilityand step up.

The sel-guided SustainabilityWalking Tour was developed by theCampus Sustainability Committee,a group o aculty, sta, studentsand administrators committed to

practicing sustainability on campus.Created in 2007 at the request oUA President Robert N. Shelton, thecommittee is chaired by proessorGlenn Schrader, head o the UAschemical and environmental engi-

neering department.The vision behind campus sus-tainability is to use the Universityas a laboratory or sustainability,Schrader said. We cant just in-struct about sustainability. We haveto practice it also.

The tour is part o the Sustain-ability Committees Project Sage: ADierent Shade o Green initiative.A shade o green well-represented inthe southern Arizona Desert, sagewas also one o the UAs frst ofcial

school colors, paired with silver.The word sage urther indicateslearning and wisdom, imperative todiscussions about sustainability.
