fantastic progress Dear friends, As we work together to advance our vision of Arizona State University as a model for 21st-century higher education, it is vital that we set metrics to assess our progress. Last February, the ASU administration presented a detailed report to the Arizona Board of Regents outlining our institutional achievements on all fronts. An important component of this report described ASU’s research enterprise and the truly phenomenal work of its leading-edge faculty, staff and students.

Under the leadership of the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development and Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan, ASU established six metrics for its research impact: 1) total research expenditures, 2) invention disclosures, 3) U.S. patents issued, 4) intellectual property income, 5) startup companies and 6) doctoral degrees awarded. ASU has exceeded five of the metrics and met the sixth, a feat that speaks directly to the creativity and excellence of the ASU community.

Michael M. Crow

These are marvelous achievements ....

Your support helps make milestones like this possible.

The National Science Foundation is an agency that is an exemplar of competitiveness. If you can win NSF funding to advance your ideas in the social and behavioral sciences, economics, engineering, physical and natural sciences, you are doing quite well. Last year, NSF funded more than 500 colleges. ASU was 21st in the number of awards received. The additional NSF rankings below further illustrate our meaningful progress: • Total Federal Research Expenditures — Of 912 schools who receive research funding from the federal government, ASU ranks 62nd, ahead of UC Irvine and the University of Virginia.

• Total Research Expenditures without Medical Schools — Of 765 colleges, ASU ranks 17th, ranked ahead of Princeton and Carnegie Mellon.

• Non-Science and Engineering Total Research Expenditures — This is an area in which ASU has always been strong. ASU ranks 19th out of more than 900 colleges, ahead of Vanderbilt and MIT. • Social Science Research — ASU ranks 8th out of more than 900, ahead of Cornell, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia and Duke.

• Humanities Research — ASU ranks 14th out of more than 900, ahead of UC Berkeley and Ohio State.

These accomplishments result from the collective and extraordinary talent and efforts of our students, faculty, staff and supporters, and I am pleased to share this great news with you.

Your support helps make this success possible, and I thank you for all you do to help our research enterprise move forward.

Thank you,

Michael M. Crow For more information on ASU’s research metrics, visit web.asufoundation.org/research-metrics.

Dear friends, It is a pleasure and a privilege to send our heartfelt thanks for your support of ASU President Michael M. Crow’s 10th anniversary of service to this wonderful university.

Bob Bulla

Your special efforts to further advance ASU during the celebration of a “Golden Decade” generated nearly $150,000 in gifts to the President’s Strategic Initiative Fund, providing President Crow with additional support to act quickly and seize the unique opportunities often presented in a rapidly changing world. If you’d like to contribute beyond your generous annual commitment, there is still time to do so! Visit asufoundation.org/ supportpc.

This is also a terrific opportunity to thank you for the support you have Diane and Gary Tooker shown during our time as President’s Club co-chairs — we are proud and appreciative of the commitment made through nearly 100 new memberships (98, to be exact!) in just the past two years.

Thank you again for your support. You have made the experience a rewarding one, and you continue to provide the resources that have helped establish ASU as a place where solutions to the challenges before us are discovered. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Bob Bulla President’s Club co-chair

MidFirst Bank joins President’s Club Last year, an exciting new partnership was formed between Arizona State University and MidFirst Bank, one of Arizona’s largest privately held banks. The alliance advances the objectives of both institutions and provides comprehensive banking solutions to all Sun Devils.

The partnership integrates a new bankable student ID card program, combining MasterCard® check card and student ID card functionality. In addition, a comprehensive sports-marketing package with ASU Athletics offers ASU alumni and fans MasterCard® check cards, credit cards and gift cards with their favorite Sun Devil logo. Further, a new financial literacy program will contribute to the development of financially responsible students and provide resources to the ASU community.

MidFirst Bank joined the ASU Foundation President’s Club as a corporate partner to support ASU’s mission to transform public higher education, and Jeff Lowe, Arizona market president, represents the bank as a President’s Club member. Lisa Handley, senior vice president and managing director of MidFirst Private Bank-Arizona, is a member of the ASU Foundation’s Women & Philanthropy.

passionate leaders committed to advancing ASU advancing an international partnership

“This is another example of how ASU President’s Club support has a transformative impact by enabling this great university to take advantage of unique and mutually beneficial opportunities to move ASU forward.”

ASU President Michael M. Crow calls it a milestone in enhanced access, collaborative learning and research, and global engagement. Former Tecnológico de Monterrey President Rafael Rangel Sostmann says it represents a unique opportunity for two universities to learn from each other for the benefit of their students, faculty, communities and society overall.

Although the relationship is a long-standing one, funding provided by the President’s Club is supporting new collaborations between the two universities and leveraging future opportunities for even greater, multi-partner initiatives.

The ASU President’s Club is fueling it.

Ultimately, increased international exposure to ASU’s groundbreaking programs and research is a biproduct of President’s Club funding.

“Tec can help ASU navigate its global aspirations, can serve as a port of entrance in Latin America; this is an area we are pursuing through our partnership,” says Rangel, who retired as Tec president in 2011. “ASU has an unquestioned reputation regionally and nationally for excellence and innovation; more people around the world need to recognize this, especially with ASU’s great expertise in sustainability issues.”

Tec de Monterrey enjoys an innovative partnership with ASU supported by the President’s Club.

“It” is a decade-long partnership between ASU and Tec, Mexico’s largest private, nonprofit educational system. The two universities have partnered on a variety of initiatives, including entrepreneurship and innovation programs and initiatives in biotechnology and online education. So close is the relationship between the two educational leaders that Rangel recently joined ASU as a special adviser to President Crow to help develop ASU opportunities in the areas of innovation, education and community outreach. Also, Rangel will assist with positioning ASU internationally.

“Arizona State University and the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey are breaking new ground,” says Crow, adding, “This unprecedented collaboration across borders has helped pave the way for innovative global partnerships among institutions of higher learning.”

Spring Celebration is artful With the renowned ASU Art Museum as the backdrop, the President’s Club gathered for its annual Spring Celebration April 3, showcasing additional ways this passionate group of advocates positively impacts the community and this great university.

Among the highlights presented by ASU President Michael Crow: • The President’s Club-supported ASU-Mayo Clinic partnership is producing a new type of doctor, one who will bring innovation and personalized medicine to the forefront of health care.

• A new office in Santa Monica, Calif. — the ASU California Center — is a physical portal for that state’s students and families considering ASU as their choice for higher education, thanks in part to President’s Club support.

• President’s Club support is funding Zócalo Public Square, an initiative to encourage Americans to focus on what brings us together, rather than what separates us.

the power of women as visionary investors a remarkable legacy

by Sybil Francis, co-chair Women & Philanthropy

Those who know Cindy Watts know she is a woman of many talents: business owner, entrepreneur, radio host — she’s even a licensed helicopter pilot. But we in Women & Philanthropy are most grateful for her dedicated leadership and desire to see ASU succeed as a New American University.

Cindy Watts

As Cindy winds up a two-year term as co-chair, we want to thank her for leading Women & Philanthropy with grace and skill. We spent the last year celebrating our 10th anniversary and the impact Women & Philanthropy has had on ASU, and Cindy was an important part of that.

Her smile, sincere enthusiasm and obvious passion were evident at each Women & Philanthropy event. She was warm and comfortable addressing the group, and engaging with prospective members.

It’s important to note that Cindy also was with us at the beginning — as a founding member — and at crucial points along the way as a member of the investment committee.

meeting our goals We are on our way to 100 percent participation in the Women & Philanthropy New American University Scholarship Endowment fund. To date, 69 members have contributed $90,850; that means if our remaining members who have not yet contributed give only $70 each, we will meet our $100,000 goal.

There’s still time to make a lasting impact in the lives of deserving students. Go to asufoundation.org/wpscholarship to make your contribution.

During her term as co-chair, our membership and impact have grown. So with sincere appreciation for her dedication, leadership and friendship, we say thank you, Cindy.

power of philanthropy Women & Philanthropy is living up to its promise to connect members to their passions through our informative events.

Our first event of the year was a luncheon at the beautiful University Club in January to welcome new members. Attendees learned how Women & Philanthropy functions through its investment, education advisory and membership committees and how to make the most of their membership in this dynamic organization.

Also in January our members attended a luncheon graciously hosted by Sharon Dupont McCord and Leslie Budinger in Paradise Valley, where we heard Co-chair Sybil Francis speak as executive director of the Center for the Future of Arizona about education reforms underway in Arizona’s K–12 system.

At our Dollars at Work event in March, members reflected on a decade of impact as they heard personal reports from past grant recipients and students who have benefitted from our funding.

At our April celebration we had the pleasure of meeting our 2012–13 grant recipients, a special highlight of the year. It was a bittersweet time, though, as Cindy Watts ended two years of outstanding leadership as co-chair, a role she filled with grace and humor. Co-chair Sybil Francis reflected on a year of great success, and asked you, our members, to give her feedback on what you want to see happen in the coming years.

presidential engagemen PEP is a gateway

another historic season

by Sybil Francis, honorary chair, Presidential Engagement Programs

It was nearly 20 years ago that Elva Coor, wife of ASU President Lattie Coor, launched a series of events called the President’s Community Enrichment Program to introduce people outside the university to ASU. Now known as Presidential Engagement Programs, the 2012–13 season of events was one of the most ambitious, offering 45 sessions; some on ASU’s campuses, but most in locations around the Valley, as well as in Sedona and Prescott.

Cumulative attendance for all events this year was nearly 3,000.

If you’ve ever looked at the ASU News website (asunews.asu. edu), you know how difficult a task it is — nearly impossible, really — to keep up-to-date with everything that goes on at ASU. Page after page, story after story, day after day across four campuses; the energy and scope of Arizona State University is simply breathtaking, perhaps even overwhelming. That is one of the reasons we created the Presidential Engagement Programs: to offer community members a manageable gateway to the benefits of having a major university next door.

While we try to make that gateway welcoming and attractive, we also try to build each PEP season in Sybil Francis a way that is representative of all the activity going on across ASU’s four campuses. That in itself is a challenge. This season, for example, our PEP offerings included astronomy, classical music, history (American and Arizonan), electronic game play, literature (English and medieval), technology, the U.S. judicial branch, global economics, renewable energy, Mideast policy, and health and fitness. With the wealth of superior professors we have to draw upon, the only limitation we encounter in planning PEP is finding enough available dates in the year.

As you read my letter, plans are being made for PEP 2013–14.

I can’t tell you yet what the programs will be, but I can tell you that next season will be different from this season, just as this season was different from seasons before, and just as every season brings fascinating and irresistible presentations that offer a glimpse of what ASU has to offer the community.

One of our longtime PEP participants put it this way in the winter edition of ASU Connection: “Exposure to ASU through PEP gives us a deeper understanding of the depth, breadth and visionary nature of the school and its leadership.”

That’s what PEP is all about. I hope you discovered that for yourself this season. If you didn’t, there’s always next year!

PAGE 8 • ASU CONNECTION • SPRING 2013

As always, members of the ASU faculty were exceedingly generous with their time; 28 professors shared their knowledge and talent with PEP participants.

Linda and Bill Orr, ASU’s Jose Mendez

Two of those participants were Bill and Linda Orr, PEP attendees for almost a decade, or as they put it, “nine years of outstanding learning!” The Orrs describe PEP as “classes taught by high-quality professors speaking factually on relevant subjects.”

“We love increasing our knowledge on a host of topics,” the Orrs shared by email. “We first heard about PEP from someone at a friend’s cocktail party who loved being part of this program. We have since shared information about this wonderful program with others!”

The topics and presenters PEP offers may differ from year to year, but the Orrs are among PEP’s many repeat customers. “We have never been disappointed with the opportunities offered each year,” they tell us.

If you haven’t discovered what the Orrs and so many others have, keep an eye on asufoundation.org/pep over the summer. Chances are you’ll find an opportunity to engage at ASU through PEP.

new PEP partners

“The Planets,” accompanied by the projection of high-resolution images from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Presidential Engagement Programs were created to connect the community with the momentum and intellectual power of a New American University. That connectedness is not intended only for individuals, however. And just as the New American University model calls for collaboration and “social embeddedness,” PEP is ideally suited to create partnerships with other valuable community resources.

Another PEP community connection was a March 25 discussion for parents hosted by Brophy College Preparatory. Mark Jacobs, dean of Barrett, the Honors College at ASU; and Michelle Jordan of ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College offered “Helping Kids Succeed in Studies and in Life.” The parents were also delighted to hear from two panel members who are Brophy graduates now studying at Barrett: Bryce Muzzy (Brophy ’10) and Chase Fitzgerald (Brophy ’11). The evening was a collaboration between PEP and the Brophy Parent Awareness Group.

Earlier this season PEP partnered with two renowned local institutions for a pair of fascinating offerings. The Arizona Science Center was host for “Playing Games with a Purpose” on Sept. 27, a high-energy evening when faculty members from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College Center for Games and Impact led participants in an exploration of the power of play in learning, health and society. Guest speaker Rebecca Berch, chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, said, “This way of speaking to our students and reaching out to them is clearly the wave of the future. This is the way kids are going to learn, and be most selfmotivated to learn.”

Jan. 10 brought an unforgettable collaboration with the Phoenix Symphony for “Explore the Planets.” The Symphony Hall evening began with an exclusive reception/presentation for PEP participants with Kip Hodges, founding director of the ASU School of Earth and Space Exploration, and the symphony’s Principal Timpanist Bruce Pulk. The finale of the evening was a performance by the Phoenix Symphony and Chorus of Holst’s

As this issue of ASU Connection went to press, another ground-breaking collaboration was soon to unite PEP, the W. P. Carey School of Business, students with the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative at Sky Song and renowned Silicon Valley entrepreneur and philanthropist Maynard Webb, author of “Rebooting Work.”

PEP Director Sally Moore says these Maynard Webb collaborations demonstrate another important way ASU’s strength and connectedness benefit its neighbors. “The university has many opportunities to create partnerships with other institutions and organizations,” she says. “PEP’s job is to extend those partnerships to community members, to create a network that benefits all of us.”

Playing Games with a Purpose PAGE 9

inspirational investors changing lives In 2006, Arizona State University leaders promised that qualified students would have the opportunity to earn degrees regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

To keep that promise, ASU joined with the ASU Foundation in 2012 to establish The New American University Scholarship Matching Program, which leverages scholarship endowments by providing a 4 percent match to endowments of $50,000 or more for 10 years.

Here are inspirational investors involved in the program and students who are reaping the benefits.

Carolyn and Ken Tweedie Matthew Tweedie Memorial New American University Scholarship Matthew Tweedie was an unconventional student, having entered college later in life. He thrived at ASU’s West campus, finding classes in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences that sparked a love of learning.

After his death last year, his Mona Dixon Katelyn Keberle parents came to realize through their sorrow that a scholarship would be a fitting way to honor his memory in a permanent way.

“The West campus turned his life around and we hope that another student can get the same benefit and it can make a difference in their life,” says Carolyn Tweedie.

Ken and Judy Williams Kenneth E. and Judith A. Williams Family New American University Scholarship Ken and Judy Williams believe that supporting agribusiness education is an effective way to nurture the next generation of agricultural leaders.

PAGE 10 • ASU CONNECTION • SPRING 2013

That belief inspired them to create a scholarship endowment to benefit students at the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management at ASU at the Polytechnic campus, where students learn to meet challenges facing global and domestic agricultural production.

“With the increasing costs of a college education, Judy and I want to help motivated young people pursue their dreams,” Ken Williams says.

unlimited potential Katelyn Keberle ’14 A student in materials science and engineering, Katelyn co-founded FlashFlood, a mobile app that simplifies leftover food donations for restaurants, creating a financially sustainable way to reduce waste and hunger.

Mona Dixon ’14 Despite being homeless from age 3 to 13, Mona graduated from high school and entered ASU as an honors student. Now a junior, she was the 2010 Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Youth of the Year.

Luis De La Cruz ’13 In high school, Luis De La Cruz Dillon Card Luis took advancedplacement classes, attended community college and worked, all while living in the foster care system. Today he leads a life of exceptional public service and is preparing to graduate magna cum laude from Barrett, the Honors College at ASU. Dillon Card ’14 An engineering major, Dillon has received grant funding allowing him to study robot-human grasp interfacing and apply that research to his honors thesis. Scholarships have allowed him to focus on studies, not on how to pay for them.

history of ASU Foundation is one for the books

help put the “connect” in “Connection”

What do Castle Hot Springs, a herd of milk goats and an alligator farm have in common? The answers are part of the colorful 128-year existence of the ASU Foundation for A New American University, all found within the 203 pages of “From Normal School to New American University: A History of the ASU Foundation, 1885–2012.” This limited-edition hardback is available for a donation or free online viewing at secure.asufoundation.org/history.

Each edition of ASU Connection is a town square, a marketplace, a mall. It’s a gathering place for coming together to share information and interests; to find what you need, and maybe what you didn’t know you needed. ASU Connection is a 12-page, full-color water cooler where you meet people who share a commitment to ensure the success of ASU — people like you.

Written by Arizona historian Dean Smith, who was ASU’s spokesman for two decades before retiring in 1984, the book begins with a recounting of the state’s “Thieving Thirteenth” legislature and its 1885 decision to appropriate public funding to establish two institutions of higher learning — one in Tempe and one in Tucson. The final two chapters, contributed by ASU Phoenix Downtown campus information specialist Marshall Terrill following Smith’s death, trace the foundation’s support of ASU’s advancement as a New American University focused on academic excellence, broad access for qualified students and meaningful societal impact.

“This is a fascinating look at the history of the ASU Foundation,” says foundation CEO R.F. “Rick” Shangraw Jr. “To be able to complete Dean Smith’s excellent work and provide new insights to an important part of this great university’s history is exciting and humbling.

This is the story of how we stand on the shoulders of giants — those educational pioneers who paved the way more than a century ago and those who continue the advancement of ASU today.”

Of course, we want you to come back, every time. Ideally, we’d like you to come back and bring a friend or two. We want each of our readers to explore and experience the benefits and opportunities available through the ASU Foundation. But you won’t come back, and you certainly won’t invite others, if you’re not finding what you need. So please, tell us what you need.

• Fill out and return the survey card you’ll find in this edition of ASU Connection, or …

• Take the survey online at surveymonkey.com/asuconnection.

It will take a minute or two of your time, sure. But think of it as an investment. If you take a few minutes now to help us make ASU Connection better, the time you spend here later will be that much more valuable.

We promise to bring you ASU, if you’ll help us make the connection.
