History

1885–1929

Arizona State University was established as theTerritorial Normal Schoolat Tempe on March 12, 1885, when the13th Arizona Territorial Legislaturepassed an act to create anormal schoolto train teachers for theArizona 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 asTempe Normal School of Arizona(1889–1903),Tempe Normal School(1903–1925),Tempe State Teachers College(1925–1929),Arizona State Teachers College(1929–1945),Arizona State College(1945–1958) and, by a 2–1 margin of the state's voters,Arizona State Universityin 1958.

In 1923, the school stopped offeringhigh schoolcourses and added ahigh school diplomato the admissions requirements. In 1925, the school became theTempe State Teachers Collegeand offered four-year Bachelor of Education degrees as well as two-year teaching certificates. In 1929, the9th Arizona State Legislatureauthorized Bachelor of Arts in Education degrees as well, and the school was renamed theArizona State Teachers College.[18][19]Under the 30-year tenure of presidentArthur John Matthews(1900–1930), the school was given all-college student status. The first dormitories built in the state were constructed under his supervision in 1902. Of the 18 buildings constructed while Matthews was president, six are still in use. Matthews envisioned an "evergreen campus", with many shrubs brought to the campus, and implemented the planting of 110 Mexican Fan Palms on what is now known asPalm Walk,a century-old landmark of the Tempe campus.

During theGreat Depression,Ralph Waldo Swetmanwas hired to succeed President Matthews, coming to Arizona State Teachers College in 1930 from Humboldt State Teachers College where he had served as president. He served a three-year term, during which he focused on improving teacher-training programs.[20]During his tenure, enrollment at the college doubled, topping the 1,000 mark for the first time.[21]Matthews also conceived of a self-supported summer session at the school at Arizona State Teachers College, a first for the school.

1930–1989

ASU'sGammage Auditorium,designed byFrank Lloyd Wright

In 1933,Grady Gammage,then president ofArizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff,became president of Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe, beginning a tenure that would last for nearly 28 years, second only to Swetman's 30 years at the college's helm. Like President Porter Eric Gasvoda before him, Gammage oversaw the construction of several buildings on the Tempe campus. He also guided the development of the university's graduate programs; the first Master of Arts in Education was awarded in 1938, the first Doctor of Education degree in 1954 and 10 non-teaching master's degrees were approved by theArizona Board of Regentsin 1956. During his presidency, the school's name was changed toArizona State Collegein 1945, and finally toArizona State Universityin 1958. At the time, two other names were considered:Tempe UniversityandState University at Tempe.[22]Among Gammage's greatest achievements in Tempe was theFrank Lloyd Wright-designed construction of what isGrady Gammage Memorial Auditorium/ASU Gammage.One of the university's hallmark buildings, ASU Gammage was completed in 1964, five years after the president's (and Wright's) death.

Gammage was succeeded byHarold D. Richardson,who had served the school earlier in a variety of roles beginning in 1939, including director of graduate studies, college registrar, dean of instruction, dean of the College of Education and academic vice president. Although filling the role of acting president of the university for just nine months (Dec. 1959 to Sept. 1960), Richardson laid the groundwork for the future recruitment and appointment of well-credentialed research science faculty.

By the 1960s, underG. Homer Durham,the university's 11th president, ASU began to expand its curriculum by establishing several new colleges and, in 1961, the Arizona Board of Regents authorized doctoral degree programs in six fields, includingDoctor of Philosophy.[23]By the end of his nine-year tenure, ASU had more than doubled enrollment, reporting 23,000 in 1969.

The next three presidents—Harry K. Newburn(1969–71),John W. Schwada(1971–81) andJ. Russell Nelson(1981–89), including and Interim President Richard Peck (1989)—led the university to increased academic stature, the establishment of theASU West Valley campusin 1984 and its subsequent construction in 1986, a focus on computer-assisted learning and research, and rising enrollment.

1990–present

Example of a new academic village, taken at Barrett, The Honors College on the Tempe Campus

Under the leadership ofLattie F. Coor,president from 1990 to 2002, ASU grew through the creation of thePolytechnic campusand extended education sites. Increased commitment to diversity, quality inundergraduate 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 ofBarrett, The Honors College,and theHerberger Institute for Design and the Arts;the creation of many new endowed faculty positions; and hundreds of new scholarships and fellowships.[24]

ASU'sBiodesign Instituteon Tempe campus

In 2002,Michael M. Crowbecame the university's 16th president. At his inauguration, he outlined his vision for transforming ASU into a "New American University"[25]—one that would be open and inclusive, and set a goal for the university to meetAssociation of American Universitiescriteria 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[26]combined academic departments, consolidated colleges and schools, and reduced staff and administration as the university expanded itsWestValley and Polytechnic campuses. ASU'sDowntown Phoenix campuswas also expanded, with several colleges and schools relocating there. The university established learning centers throughout the state, including theASU Colleges at Lake Havasu Cityand programs in Thatcher, Yuma, and Tucson. Students at these centers can choose from several ASU degree and certificate programs.

During Crow's tenure, and aided by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations, ASU began a years-long research facility capital building effort that led to the establishment of theBiodesign Instituteat Arizona State University, theJulie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability,and several large interdisciplinary research buildings. Along with the research facilities, the university faculty was expanded, including the addition of fiveNobel Laureates.[27][28]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.[29]

Theeconomic downturnthat began in 2008 took a particularly hard toll on Arizona, resulting in large cuts to ASU's budget. In response to these cuts, ASU capped enrollment, closed some four dozen academic programs, combined academic departments, consolidated colleges and schools, and reduced university faculty, staff and administrators;[30]with an economic recovery underway in 2011, however, the university continued its campaign to expand the West Valley and Polytechnic Campuses,[31]and establish a low-cost, teaching-focused extension campus inLake Havasu City.[32]As of 2011, an article inSlatereported that, "the bottom line looks good", noting that:[33]

Since Crow's arrival, ASU's research funding has almost tripled to nearly $350 million. Degree production has increased by 45 percent. And thanks to an ambitious aid program, enrollment of students from Arizona families below poverty is up 647 percent.

On May 1, 2014, ASU was listed as one offifty-five higher education institutions under investigation by the Office of Civil Rights"for possible violations of federal law over the handling of sexual violence and harassment complaints" by Barack Obama's White House Task Force To Protect Students from Sexual Assault.[34][35]The publicly announced investigation followed two Title IX suits.[36]In July 2014, a group of at least nine current and former students who alleged they were harassed or assaulted asked the federal investigation be expanded.[37] In August 2014 ASU president Michael Crow appointed a task force[38]comprising faculty and staff, students, and members of the university police force to review the university's efforts to address sexual violence. Crow accepted the recommendations of the task force in November 2014.[39]

In 2015, theThunderbird School of Global Managementbecame the Thunderbird School of Global Management at ASU. Partnerships for education and research withMayo Clinicestablished collaborative degree programs in health care and law, and shared administrator positions, laboratories and classes at the Mayo Clinic Arizona campus.

The Beus Center for Law and Society, the new home of ASU'sSandra Day O'Connor College of Law,opened in fall 2016 on the Downtown Phoenix campus, relocating faculty and students from the Tempe campus to the state capital.[40]

The Arizona Board of Regents governs Arizona State University as well as the state's other public universities;University of ArizonaandNorthern Arizona University.[41]TheBoard of Regentsis composed of 12 members including 11 who are voting members, and one non-voting member. Members of the board include the state governor and superintendent of public instruction acting as ex-officio members, eight volunteer Regents members with eight-year terms who are appointed by the governor, and two student regents, each with two-year terms, and each serving a one-year term as non-voting apprentices.[42]ABORprovides policy guidance to the state universities of Arizona. ASU has four campuses in metropolitanPhoenix, Arizona,including the Tempe campus inTempe;the West Valley campus inGlendale;the Downtown Phoenix campus; and the Polytechnic campus inMesa.ASU also offers courses and degrees through ASU Online and at the ASU Colleges atLake Havasu Cityin western Arizona, and offers regional learning programs in Thatcher, Yuma and Tucson.

The Arizona Board of Regents appoints and elects the president of the university, who is considered the institution's chief executive officer and the chief budget officer.[43]The president executes measures enacted by the Board of Regents, controls the university's property, and acts as the university's official representative to the Board of Regents.[44]The chief executive officer is assisted through the administration of the institution by the provost, vice presidents, deans, faculty, directors, department chairs, and other officers.[45]The president also selects and appoints administrative officers and general counsels. The 16th ASU president isMichael M. Crow,who has served since July 1, 2002.[46]

Campuses and locations

edit

Academic programs are spread across four distinct campuses in thePhoenix Metropolitan Area;unlike most multi-campus institutions, however, ASU describes itself as "one university in many places", inferring there is "not a system with separate campuses, and not one main campus with branch campuses."[11]The university considers each campus "distinctive" and academically focused on certain aspects of the overall university mission. The Tempe campus is the university's research and graduate school center.Undergraduate studieson the Tempe campus are research-based programs that prepare students forgraduate school,professional school,or employment.[47]The Polytechnic campus is designed with an emphasis on professional and technological programs for direct workforce preparation. The Polytechnic campus is the site of many of the university's simulators and laboratories dedicated for project-based learning.[48]The West Valley campus is focused on interdisciplinary degrees and the liberal arts, while maintaining professional programs with a direct impact on the community and society.[49]The Downtown Phoenix campus focuses on direct urban and public programs such as nursing, public policy, criminal justice, mass communication, and journalism.[50]ASU recently relocated some nursing and health related programs to its new ASU-Mayo Medical School campus. Inter-campus shuttles andlight railallow students and faculty to easily travel between the campuses. In addition to the physical campuses, ASU's "virtual campus" at the university'sSkySong Innovation Center,providesonlineand extended education.

The Arizona Board of Regents reports the ASU facilities inventory totals more than 23 million gross square feet.[51]

Tempe campus

ASU is ranked 42nd–56th in the U.S. and 101st–150th in the world among the top 1000 universities in the 2020Academic Ranking of World Universities,[112]and 67th U.S./183rd world by the 2020–21 Center for World University Rankings.[113]Moneymagazine ranked ASU 124th in the country out of 739 schools evaluated for its 2020 "Best Colleges for Your Money" edition.[114]The Wall Street Journalranks ASU 5th in the nation for producing the best-qualified graduates, determined by a nationwide poll of corporate recruiters.[115]

ASU'sWalter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communicationhas been named one of America's top 10journalism schoolsby national publications and organizations for more than a decade. The rankings include: College Magazine (10th), Quality Education and Jobs (6th), and International Student (1st).[116][117][118]

For its efforts as a national leader in campussustainability,ASU was named one of the top 6 "Cool Schools" by theSierra Clubin 2017,[119]was named one of thePrinceton Review's most sustainable schools in 2015[120]and earned an "A−" grade on the 2011 College Sustainability Green Report Card.[121]

Research and Institutes

edit

ASU isclassifiedamong "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very High Research Activity".[122]The university spent $673 million in fiscal year 2020, ranking it 43rd nationally.[123][124][125]ASU is a NASA designatednational space-grantinstitute and a member of theUniversities Research Association.In 2023, it became a member of theAssociation of American Universities,an elite organization of 71 research universities in the U.S. and Canada.[126]The university is currently in the top 10 for NASA-funded research expenditures.[124]

The university has raised more than $999 million in external funding, and more than 180 companies based on ASU innovations have been launched through the university's exclusive intellectual property management company, Skysong Innovations.[127]The U.S. National Academy of Inventors and the Intellectual Property Owners Association rank ASU in the top 10 nationally and No. 11 globally for U.S. patents awarded to universities in 2020, along with MIT, Stanford and Harvard.[128][129]ASU jumped to 10th place from 17th in 2017, according to the U.S. National Academy of Inventors and the Intellectual Property Owners Association.[130][131]Since its inception, Skysong Innovations has fostered the launch of more than 180 companies based on ASU innovations, and attracted more than $999 million in venture funding, including $96 million in fiscal year 2016 alone.[127]In 2013, the Sweden-based University Business Incubator (UBI) Index, named ASU as one of the top universities in the world forbusiness incubation,ranking 17th. UBI reviewed 550 universities and associated business incubators from around the world using an assessment framework that takes more than 50 performance indicators into consideration.[132]As an example, one of ASU's spin-offs (Heliae Development, LLC) raised more than $28 million inventure capitalin 2013 alone.[133]In June 2016, ASU received the Entrepreneurial University Award from the Deshpande Foundation, a philanthropic organization that supports social entrepreneurship and innovation.[134]

The university's push to create various institutes has led to greater funding and an increase in the number of researchers in multiple fields. ASU Knowledge Enterprise (KE) advances research, innovation, strategic partnerships, entrepreneurship, economic development and international development.[135]KE is led bySally C. Morton.[136][137]KE supports several interdisciplinary research institutes and initiatives.[138][139]Other notable and famed institutes at ASU are The Institute of Human Origins, L. William Seidman Research Institute (W. P. Carey School of Business), Learning Sciences Institute, Herberger Research Institute, and the Hispanic Research Center. TheBiodesign Institutefor instance, conducts research on issues such as biomedical and health care outcomes as part of a collaboration withMayo Clinicto diagnose and treat diseases.[140]The institute has attracted more than $760 million in external funding, filed 860 invention disclosures, nearly 200 patents, and generated 35 spinout companies based on its research.[141]In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Biodesign developed a rapid, saliva-based testing option for the university community, and partnered with the Arizona Department of Health Services to make the saliva-based COVID test available to the public.[142][143][144][145]In October 2021, Biodesign announced their millionth test.[146][147]The institute also is heavily involved insustainabilityresearch, primarily through reuse ofCO2via biological feedback and variousbiomasses(e.g.algae) to synthesize cleanbiofuels.Heliae is a Biodesign Institutespin-offand much of its business centers onalgal-derived, high value products.[148]Furthermore, the institute is heavily involved in security research including technology that can detect biological and chemical changes in the air and water. The university has received more than $30 million in funding from theDepartment of Defensefor adapting this technology for use in detecting the presence ofbiologicalandchemical weapons.[149]Research conducted at the Biodesign Institute by ASU professorCharles Arntzenmade possible the production ofEbolaantibodies in specially modified tobacco plants that researchers atMapp Biopharmaceuticalused to create the Ebola therapeuticZMapp.The treatment is credited with saving the lives of two aid workers. For his work, Arntzen was named the No. 1 honoree amongFast Company's annual "100 Most Creative People in Business" 2015 awards.[150]

World-renowned scholars have been integral to the successes of the institutes associated with the university. ASU students and researchers have been selected asMarshall,Truman,Rhodes,andFulbrightScholars with the university ranking 1st overall in the U.S. for Fulbright Scholar awards to faculty and 5th overall for recipients of Fulbright U.S. Student awards in the 2015–2016 academic year.[151]ASU faculty includesNobel Laureates,Royal Societymembers,National Academymembers, and members of theNational Institutes of Health,to name a few.[152]ASU ProfessorDonald Johanson,who discovered the 3.18 million year old fossil hominidLucy (Australopithecus)inEthiopia,established the Institute of Human Origins (IHO) in 1981. The institute was first established inBerkeley, California,and later moved to ASU in 1997.[153]As one of the leading research organization in the United States devoted to the science of human origins, IHO pursues atransdisciplinarystrategy for field and analyticalpaleoanthropologicalresearch.[154]TheHerberger Institute Research Centersupports the scholarly inquiry, applied research and creative activity of more than 400 faculty and nearly 5,000 students.[155]The renownedASU Art Museum,Herberger Institute Community Programs, urban design, and other outreach and initiatives in the arts community round out the research and creative activities of the Herberger Institute. Among well known professors within the Herberger Institute is Johnny Saldaña of the School of Theatre and Film. Saldaña received the 1996 Distinguished Book Award and the prestigious Judith Kase Cooper Honorary Research Award, both from the American Alliance for Theatre Education (AATE).[156]The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability is the center of ASU's initiatives focusing on practical solutions to environmental, economic, and social challenges. The institute has partnered with various cities, universities, and organizations from around the world to address issues affecting the global community.[157]

ASU is also involved withNASAin the field ofspace exploration.To meet the needs of NASA programs, ASU built theLEEDGold Certified, 298,000-square-foot Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building IV (ISTB 4) at a cost of $110 million in 2012.[158]The building includes space for the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) and includes labs and other facilities for theIra A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.[159]One of the main projects at ISTB 4 includes theOSIRIS-RExThermal Emission Spectrometer(OTES).[160]Although ASU built thespectrometersaboard theMartian roversSpiritandOpportunity,OTES will be the first major scientific instrument completely designed and built at ASU for a NASAspace mission.[161]Phil Christensen,theprincipal investigatorfor theMars Global SurveyorThermal Emission Spectrometer(TES), is aRegents' Professorat ASU.[162]He also serves as the principal investigator for theMars OdysseyTHEMISinstruments, as well as co-investigator for theMars Exploration Rovers.ASU scientists are responsible for theMini-TESinstruments aboard the Mars Exploration Rovers. TheBuseck Center for Meteorite Studies,which is home to rareMartianmeteoritesand exotic fragments from space, and theMars Space Flight Facilityare on ASU's Tempe campus.[163][164]In 2017,Lindy Elkins-Tantonof ASU was selected by NASA to lead a deep space mission toPsyche,a metal asteroid believed to be a former planetary core. The $450 million project is the first NASA mission led by the university.[165]

TheArmy Research Laboratoryextended funding for the Arizona State UniversityFlexible DisplayCenter (FDC) in 2009 with a $50 million grant.[166]The university has partnered withthe Pentagonon such endeavors since 2004 with an initial $43.7 million grant. In 2012, researchers at the center created the world's largest flexible full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED), which at the time was 7.4 inches. The following year, the FEDC staff broke their own world record, producing a 14.7-inch version of the display.[167]The technology delivers high-performance while remaining cost-effective during the manufacturing process. Vibrant colors, high switching speeds for video and reduced power consumption are some of the features the center has integrated into the technology. In 2012, ASU eliminated the need for specialized equipment and processing, thereby reducing costs compared to competitive approaches.[168]

Luminosity Lab

edit

The Luminosity Lab is a student-led research and development think tank located on theTempe campusof ASU. It was founded in 2016 by Dr. Mark Naufel.[169][170]Fifteen students from multiple disciplines were selected for the initial team.[169]

Notable projects

edit

NASA

A team of students from the Luminosity Lab were finalists in NASA's 2020 BIG Idea Challenge, a national competition to build a probe to explore the darkened regions of theMoon.[171]

A team of students from the Luminosity Lab were among 22 finalists in the Space Robotics Challenge, one of NASA's Centennial Challenges.[172][173]

X-Prize

In summer 2020,SalesforceCEOMarc Beinhoffpartnered withCNBC'sJim Cramerand theX-Prize Foundation,an international mask design competition with an overall prize purse of $1 million.[174]A team of five students from the Luminosity Lab were the winners of the X-prize Next-gen Mask challenge, winning $500,000.[175][176]The team received national and international press coverage and recognition as the result of being named the top mask of the competition.[177][178]

Libraries

edit
The underground entrance to Hayden Library,[179]Tempe campus

ASU's faculty and students are served by nine libraries across five campuses: Hayden Library, Noble Library, Music Library and Design and the Arts Library on the Tempe campus; Fletcher Library on the West campus; Downtown Phoenix campus library and Ross-Blakley Law Library at the Downtown Phoenix campus; Polytechnic campus library; and the Thunderbird Library at the Thunderbird campus.[180]

As of 2013,ASU's libraries held 4.5 million volumes.[181]The Arizona State University library system is ranked the 34th largest research library in the United States and Canada, according to criteria established by theAssociation of Research Librariesthat measures various aspects of quality and size of the collection.[182]The university continues to grow itsspecial collections,such as the recent addition of a privately held collection ofmanuscriptsby poetRubén Darío.[183]

Hayden Library is on Cady Mall in the center of the Tempe campus and is currently under renovation. It opened in 1966 and is the largest library facility at ASU.[179]An expansion in 1989 created the subterranean entrance underneath Hayden Lawn and is attached to the above-ground portion of the original library. There are two floors underneath Hayden Lawn with a landmark known as the"Beacon of Knowledge"rising from the center. The underground library lights the beacon at night.

The 2013Capital Improvement Plan,approved by theArizona Board of Regents,incorporates a $35 million repurposing and renovation project for Hayden Library.[184]The open air moat area that serves as an outdoor study space will be enclosed to increase indoor space for the library. Along with increasing space and renovating the facility, the front entrance of Hayden Library was rebuilt.

Sustainability

edit

As of March 2014,ASU was the top institution of higher education in the United States forsolar generating capacity.[185]Today, the university generates over 24 megawatts (MW) of electricity from on-campus solar arrays.[186]This is an increase over the June 2012 total of 15.3 MW.[187][188]ASU has 88solar photovoltaic(PV) installations containing 81,424 solar panels across four campuses and theASU Research Park.[189]An additional 29 MWdc solar installation was dedicated atRed Rock, Pinal County, Arizona,in January 2017, bringing the university's solar generating capacity to 50 MWdc.[189]

Additionally, sixwind turbinesinstalled on the roof of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability building on the Tempe campus have operated since October 2008. Under normal conditions, the six turbines produce enough electricity to power approximately 36 computers.[190]

In 2021, ASU researchers installed apassive radiative coolingfilm to localTempebus shelters to cool temperatures during the daytime by radiating heat to space with zero energy use. The film was produced by3Mand cooled shelter temperatures by 4 °C. It was one of the first applications of the cooling film in the country.[191][192]

ASU'sSchool of Sustainabilitywas the first school in the United States to introduce degrees in the field ofsustainability.ASU's School of Sustainability is part of the Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability.[193]The School was established in spring 2007 and began enrolling undergraduates in fall 2008. The school offers majors, minors, and a number of certificates in sustainability. ASU is also home to the Sustainability Consortium, which was founded byJay Goldenin 2009.[194]

The School of Sustainability has been essential in establishing the university as "a leader in the academics of sustainable business".[195]The university is widely considered to be one of the most ambitious and principled organizations for embedding sustainable practices into itsoperating model.[196]The university has embraced several challenging sustainability goals.[197]Among the numerous benchmarks outlined in the university'sprospectus,is the creation of a largerecyclingandcompostingoperation that will eliminate 30% and divert 90% of waste from landfills.[198]This endeavor will be aided by educating students about the benefits of avoidingoverconsumptionthat contributes to excessive waste. Sustainability courses have been expanded to attain this goal and many of the university's individual colleges and schools have integrated such material into theirlecturesand courses.[199][200]Second, ASU is on track to reduce its rate of water consumption by 50%. The university's most aggressive benchmark is to be the first, large research university to achievecarbon neutralityas it pertains to itsScope 1, 2and non-transportation Scope 3greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.[196]

ASU's College of Integrative Sciences and Arts (CISA) offers degrees and certifications focused on sustainable horticulture, natural resource ecology, indoor farming, desert food production and wildlife management, through its College of Applied Sciences and Arts at ASU's Polytechnic campus. CISA's Burrowing Owl Conservation Project at the Polytechnic campus was noted as one of the distinctive features of ASU in The Sierra Club magazine's ranking of ASU as the top "cool school" for sustainability in 2021.

CISA faculty at the Polytechnic campus in disciplines such as applied biological sciences, and technical communication and user experience, are involved in research and community outreach to promote sustainable use of resources and preservation of species and habitat.Vertical farming,indoor farming and water conservation efforts are just a few of the sustainability initiatives being driven by CISA faculty.

Traditions

edit

Maroon and gold

edit

Goldis the oldest color associated with Arizona State University and dates back to 1896 when the school was named the Tempe Normal School.[201]Maroonandwhitewere later added to the color scheme in 1898. Gold signifies the "golden promise" of ASU. The promise includes every student receiving a valuable educational experience. Gold also signifies the sunshine Arizona is famous for; including the power of the sun and its influence on the climate and the economy. The first uniforms worn by athletes associated with the university were black and white when the "Normals" were the name of the athletic teams. The student section, known as The Inferno, wears gold on game days.[202]Maroon signifies sacrifice and bravery while white represents the balance of negativity and positivity. As it is in the city ofTempe, Arizona,the school's colors adorn the neighboring buildings during big game days and festive events.[203]

Mascot and Spirit Squad

edit

Sparky the Sun Devilis the mascot of Arizona State University and was named by vote of the student body on November 8, 1946.[204]Sparky often travels with the team across the country and has been at every footballbowl gamein which the university has participated. The university's mascot is not to be confused with the athletics department's logo, thePitchforkor hand gesture used by those associated with the university. The new logo is used on various sport facilities, uniforms and athletics documents.[205][206]Arizona State Teacher's College had a different mascot and the sports teams were known as the Owls and later, the Bulldogs. When the school was first established, the Tempe Normal School's teams were simply known as the Normals.[207]Sparky is visible on the sidelines of every home game played inSun Devil Stadiumor other ASU athletic facilities. His routine at football games includes pushups after every touchdown scored by the Sun Devils. He is aided by Sparky's Crew, male yell leaders that must meet physical requirements to participate as members. The female members are known as the Spirit Squad and are categorized into a dance line and spirit line. They are the official squad that represents ASU. The spirit squad competes every year at the ESPN Universal Dance Association (UDA) College Nationals in the Jazz and Hip-Hop categories. They were chosen by the UDA to represent the US at the World Dance Championship 2013 in the Jazz category.[208]

"A" Mountain

edit
Hayden Butte,also known as "A" Mountain
Annual tradition of Whitewashing "A" Mountain

A letter has existed on the slope of the mountain since 1918. A "T" followed by an "N" were the first letters to grace the landmark.Tempe Butte,home to "A" Mountain, has had the "A" installed on the slope of its south face since 1938 and is visible from campus just to the south. The original "A" was destroyed by vandals in 1952 with pipe bombs and a new "A", constructed of reinforced concrete, was built in 1955.[209]The vandals were never identified but many speculate the conspirators were students from the rival in-state university (University of Arizona). Many ancientHohokampetroglyphswere destroyed by the bomb; nevertheless, many of these archeological sites around the mountain remain. There are many traditions surrounding "A" Mountain, including a revived "guarding of the 'A'" in which students camp on the mountainside before games with rival schools.[209]"Whitewashing" of the "A" is a tradition in which incoming freshmen paint the letter white during orientation week and is repainted gold before the first football game of the season.[210]Whitewashing dates back to the 1930s and it grows in popularity every year, with thousands of students going up to paint the "A" every year.[211]

Lantern Walk and Homecoming

edit
Old newspaper clipping describing the Lantern Walk tradition at ASU, May 30, 1929

The Lantern Walk is one of the oldest traditions at ASU and dates back to 1917.[212]It is considered one of ASU's "most cherished" traditions and is an occasion used to mark the work of those associated with ASU throughout history. Anyone associated with ASU is free to participate in the event, including students, alumni, faculty, employees, and friends. This differs slightly from the original tradition in which the seniors would carry lanterns up "A" Mountain followed by the freshman. The senior class president would describe ASU's traditions and the freshman would repeat an oath of allegiance to the university. It was described as a tradition of "good will between the classes" and a way of ensuring new students would continue the university's traditions with honor. In modern times, the participants walk through campus and follow a path up to "A" Mountain to "light up" Tempe. Keynote speakers, performances, and other events are used to mark the occasion. The night is culminated with a fireworks display. The Lantern Walk was held after the Spring Semester (June) but is now held the week beforeHomecoming,a tradition that dates to 1924 at ASU. It is held in the fall and in conjunction with a football game.[213]

Victory Bell

edit
Ringing of the Victory Bell, Arizona State Universityc. 1956

In 2012, Arizona State University reintroduced the tradition of ringing a bell after each win for the football team.[214]The ROTC cadets associated with the university transport the bell to various events and ring it after Sun Devil victories. The first Victory Bell, in various forms, was used in the 1930s but the tradition faded in the 1970s when the bell was removed from Memorial Union for renovations.[215]The bell cracked and was no longer capable of ringing. That bell is on the southeast corner of Sun Devil Stadium, near the entrance to the student section. That bell, given to the university in the late 1960s, is painted gold and is a campus landmark.

Sun Devil Marching Band, Devil Walk and songs of the university

edit
Sun Devil Marching BandBattery, performing the pregamedrum cadencein 2007

TheArizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band,created in 1915 and known as the "Pride of the Southwest", was the first of only twomarching bandsin the Pac-12 to receive the prestigiousSudler Trophy.[216]The John Philip Sousa Foundation awarded the band the trophy in 1991. The Sun Devil Marching Band remains one of only 28 bands in the nation to have earned the designation. The band performs at every football game played in Sun Devil Stadium. In addition, the Sun Devil Marching Band has made appearances in the Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Holiday Bowl, and theSuper Bowl XLII,in addition to many others.[216]Smaller ensembles of band members perform at other sport venues including basketball games atWells Fargo Arenaand baseball games. The Devil Walk is held in Wells Fargo Arena by the football team and involves a more formal introduction of the players to the community; a new approach to the tradition added in 2012 with the arrival ofhead coachTodd Graham.[217]It begins 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the game and allows the players to establish rapport with the fans. The walk ends as the team passes the band and fans lined along the path to Sun Devil Stadium. The walk was discontinued when Graham was fired. However, in 2022, interim coachShaun Aguanoannounced that the Sun Devil Walk is returning.[218][219]The most recognizable songs played by the band are "Alma Mater" and ASU'sfight songstitled "Maroon and Gold"and the" Al Davis Fight Song "." Alma Mater "was composed by former Music Professor and Director of Sun Devil Marching Band (then known as Bulldog Marching Band), Miles A. Dresskell, in 1937.[220]"Maroon and Gold" was authored by former Director of Sun Devil Marching Band, Felix E. McKernan, in 1948. The "Al Davis Fight Song" (also known as "Go, Go Sun Devils" and "Arizona State University Fight Song" ) was composed by ASU alumnus Albert Oliver Davis in the 1940s without any lyrics. Recently lyrics were added to the song.[216]

Curtain of Distraction

edit

The Curtain of Distraction is a tradition that appears at every men's and women's basketball game. The tradition started in 2013 in order to get fans to the games. In the second half of basketball games, a portable "curtain" opens up in front of the opponents shooting a free throw and students pop out of the curtain to try and distract the opponent. Some of the skits include an Elvis impersonator, people rubbing mayonnaise on their chest, and people wearing unicorn heads.[221]In 2016, former OlympianMichael Phelpscame out of the curtain wearing a Speedo during a game against Oregon State.[222]ESPN estimated that distraction may give ASU a one-to-three point advantage.[221]

Arizona State University has an activeextracurricularinvolvement program.[224]Located on the second floor of the Student Pavilion at the Tempe campus,[225]Educational Outreach and Student Services (EOSS) provides opportunities for student involvement through clubs,sororities,fraternities,community service,leadership,student government,andco-curricularprogramming.[226]

The oldest student organization on campus is Devils' Advocates, the volunteer campus tour guide organization, which was founded in 1966 as a way to more competitively recruit National Merit Scholars. There are over 1,100 ASU alumni who can call themselves Advos.[227]

Changemaker Central is a student-run centralized resource hub for student involvement insocial entrepreneurship,civic engagement,service-learning,andcommunity servicethat catalyzes student-driven social change. Changemaker Central locations have opened on all campuses in fall 2011, providing flexible, creative workspaces for everyone in the ASU community. The project is entirely student run and advances ASU's institutional commitments to social embeddedness and entrepreneurship. The space allows students to meet, work and join new networks and collaborative enterprises while taking advantage of ASU's many resources and opportunities for engagement. Changemaker Central has signature programs, including Changemaker Challenge, that support students in their journey to become changemakers by creating communities of support around new solutions/ideas and increasing access to early stage seed funding.[228]The Changemaker Challenge seeks undergraduate and graduate students from across the university who are dedicated to making a difference in our local and global communities through innovation. Students can win up to $10,000 to make their innovative project, prototype, venture or community partnership ideas happen.[229]

In addition to Changemaker Central, theGreekcommunity (Greek Life) at Arizona State University has been important in binding students to the university, and providing social outlets. ASU is also home to one of the nation's first and fastest growing gay fraternities,Sigma Phi Beta,founded in 2003;[230]considered a sign of the growing university's commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion.

The second Eta chapter ofPhrateres,a non-exclusive, non-profit social-service club, was installed here in 1958 and became inactive in the 1990s.

There are multiple councils for Greek Life, including the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC),National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations(NALFO),National Pan-Hellenic Council(NPHC), Panhellenic Association (PHA), and the Professional Fraternity Council (PFC).[231]

Student media

edit

TheState Pressis the university's independent, student-operated news publication.The State Presscovers news and events on all four ASU campuses. Student editors and managers are solely responsible for the content of theState Presswebsite. These publications are overseen by an independent board and guided by a professional adviser employed by the university.

The Downtown Devilis a student-run news publication website for the Downtown Phoenix Campus, produced by students at theWalter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.[232]

ASU has one student-run radio station, Blaze Radio. Blaze Radio is a completely student-run broadcast station owned and funded by the Cronkite School of Journalism. The station broadcasts using a 24-hour online stream on their official website. Blaze Radio plays music 24 hours a day and features daily student-hosted news, music, and sports specialty programs.[233]

Student government

edit

Associated Students of Arizona State University (ASASU) is thestudent governmentat Arizona State University.[234]It is composed of the Undergraduate Student Government and the Graduate & Professional Student Association (GPSA). Each ASU campus has a specific USG; USG Tempe (Tempe), USGD (Downtown), USG Polytechnic (Polytechnic) and USG West (West). Members and officers of ASASU are elected annually by the student body.

TheResidence Hall Association(RHA) of Arizona State University is the student government for every ASU student living on-campus. Each ASU campus has an RHA that operates independently. RHA's purpose is to improve the quality of residence hall life and provide a cohesive voice for the residents by addressing the concerns of the on-campus populations to university administrators and other campus organizations; providing cultural, diversity, educational, and social programming; establishing and working with individual community councils.[235]

Athletics

edit
Arizona State Football Team in September 2011

Arizona State University'sDivision Iathletic teams are called theSun Devils,which is also the nickname used to refer to students and alumni of the university. They compete in thePac-12 Conferencein 20 varsity sports. Historically, the university has highly performed in men's, women's, and mixedarchery;men's, women's, and mixedbadminton;women'sgolf;women'sswimminganddiving;baseball;and football. Arizona State University'sNCAA Division I-Aprogram competes in 9 varsity sports for men and 11 for women. ASU's athletic director is Ray Anderson,[236]former executive vice president of football operations for theNational Football League.Anderson replaced Steve Patterson, who was appointed to the position in 2012, replacingLisa Love,the former Senior Associate Athletic Director at theUniversity of Southern California.[237]Love was responsible for the hiring of coachesHerb Sendek,the men's basketball coach, andDennis Erickson,the men's football coach.[238]Erickson was fired in 2011 and replaced byTodd Graham.[239]In December 2017, ASU announced that Herm Edwards would replace Graham as the head football coach.[240]The rival to Arizona State University isUniversity of Arizona.

James Harden,ASU Basketball

ASU has won 24 national collegiate team championships in the following sports: baseball (5), men's golf (2), women's golf (8), men's gymnastics (1), softball (2), men's indoor track (1), women's indoor track (2), men's outdoor track (1), women's outdoor track (1), and wrestling (1).[241]

In September 2009, criticism over the seven-figure salaries earned by various coaches at Arizona's public universities (including ASU) prompted the Arizona Board of Regents to re-evaluate the salary and benefit policy for athletic staff.[242]With the 2011 expansion of thePac-12 Conference,a new $3 billion contract for revenue sharing among all the schools in the conference was established.[243]With the infusion of funds, the salary issue and various athletic department budgeting issues at ASU were addressed. The Pac-12's new media contract withESPNallowed ASU to hire a new coach in 2012.
