A unique student housing property with a

No Party policy
and innovative amenities and
services thrives in Tucson
a 13 mile hike, Tucson Meet Yourself event downtown, had a game
night on site with free food and refreshments, and a movie night. We
also went to the Corn Maze for Halloween and to the International
Festival of Tucson. And that was just for October!
Sahara is still the only student building in Tucson that will give
every resident a FREE bicycle to ride while living at Sahara. We
even maintain and repair the bikes for free.
Sahara apartments is in its 11th year of operation as a student

housing project in Tucson. Ted Mehr, the owner of Sahara
Apartments, has introduced a lot of innovations to the Tucson student
housing market.
Ted, who still manages the building on a day to day basis
developed this project as the paranoid father of a college age
daughter, who was concerned about his own daughters safety and
comfort when she had gone to live on her own while attending college.
Some of Teds ideas have been duplicated by others, and some are
still unique to Sahara.
For example, Sahara is still the only building that does not
allow parties on site. Our motto is The oasis for QUIET student
living. At Sahara you are guaranteed a quiet environment. If anyone
violates the rules, the residents can call the owner, Ted, no matter
what time of day or night. And he will drive down to the building to
make sure the violators understand that the policy is really enforced.
When students move into Sahara, they get Teds cell phone AND
home phone numbers, you know, just in case the cell phone runs
out of battery right when someone needs to call. All residents are
encouraged to call Ted if they feel uncomfortable about anything.
That sort of attitude is not something that you will get from the
corporate-owned high rise competition.
In case you think our no party policy means no fun, you should
know that Sahara has an activity director who organizes many
group activities sponsored by Sahara where the residents get an
opportunity to get together and do fun things as a group. For instance
at the time of this writing, for the month of October, we took our
residents to Mt. Lemmon for the October Fest, Sabino Canyon for
Sahara is also the only student building that provides hotel

accommodations on site, where visiting family and friends can stay
when they come to visit our residents. The hotel also accommodates
professors, researchers, workshop attendees and many groups of
international students that are placed at Sahara by the University.
We treat our residents like they are expensive works of art in a
museum. Our gated community is protected with an infrared beam
system that alerts the owner with an automatic cellphone call if
someone trespasses by climbing over the walls. 80 security cameras
record all events at the
perimeter of the building
and in the public areas.
And our staff who live on
site are ready to respond if
required. These are some of
the reasons why in our 10
year history we have never
received a Red Tag from
the police department.
Offering shuttle service to and from the campus is now standard
practice for a lot of buildings, but we do it every half hour from
7 AM to 7 PM, on every school day.
At Sahara, you can enjoy the privacy of having your own studio
apartment for a lot less than a single occupancy room at the Residence
Halls, or sharing an apartment at one of the high rise buildings with
people whose lifestyles may not be compatible with yours.
While we admit we are not for everybody, nor do we want to be, there
is a lot more that you should know about Sahara before you decide
what your choice of student housing should be.
Check out our website and find out why Sahara has
become more popular each year as the word has
spread that you can have a safe and quiet environment
and still have fun.

PFA & ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PARTNERSHIP
2016 SUMMER SEND-OFFS
By Jill Hall, Vice President for the UA

Alumni Association
For more than 15 years, the University of Arizona Alumni Association

and the Parents & Family Association
have partnered to celebrate the UAs
incoming freshman class by hosting
summer send-off celebrations across
the country. National alumni chapters
and current UA parents host send-offs
to welcome incoming UA students.
The send-offs also have the mission
of educating students about the transition to college and help to create the
feeling that these students are a part of
the Wildcat Family, and now, Wildcats
for Life! These events also are a chance
to educate parents and family members about campus resources including the Parents & Family Association
and the Alumni Association.
Hosted by alumni, friends and
families of the UA, summer send-offs
begin in early July. Incoming fresh-
KANSAS CITY KCCats

men get the chance to meet other incoming students attending the university from their area and ask current
students, staff, and alumni questions
about life at the UA. Parents also connect with alumni, staff members and
each other for questions and answers.
In 2015, more than 24 national alumni
chapters and UA families hosted sum-
mer send-off events. A comprehensive

lineup also is scheduled for 2016.
For more information about 2016
summer send-offs, or to find out about
what is happening in your area, please
visit the UA Alumni Association website www.arizonaalumni.com or the
UA Parents & Family Association website at www.uafamily.arizona.edu.
GOOD VIBES
NorthPointe is the right place for me. I really like the
amenities, events, and people that live here. An easy way

STARTING STRONG
WITH BEAR DOWN SUMMER BRIDGE

BEAR DOWN SUMMER BRIDGE participants cool off at the Hub Ice Creamery during Taste of Tucson restaurant tours.
By Tom Murray, Assistant Director,

Academic Success and Achievement
In 2015, the office of Academic

Success & Achievement at the
University of Arizona launched the
Bear Down Summer Bridge Program,
a four-week early start program that
was designed with the needs of outof-state students in mind. Building
on the successes of the New Start
Summer Program, which has a 47year history on campus, Bear Down
Summer Bridge allows students
to take a general education course
while living in a residence hall and
working with Peer Advisors, Resident
Assistants, and Tutors. By getting
this early start, incoming freshmen
can experience life as a UA student,
so when their freshman year actually
starts they already feel like an expert.
I feel like a super-freshman. I feel
like I should technically be called a
sophomore even though Ive only
been here four weeks, said Nyarah, a
2015 participant from California.
One of the goals of the program
is to get students to feel at home
at the university and in their new
city. Through social and educational
>
I think its going to be good

going into the year knowing
a few people, so youre not
completely alone.
Max, from Albuquerque
programs in the residence hall, group

discussions and one-on-ones with
their Peer Advisors, and off-campus
events, program participants are
immersed in the UA campus and the
city of Tucson. This includes events
that get participants onto the SunLink
Streetcar so that they know how to
get around town, and excursions to
popular Tucson destinations.
In its first year, Bear Down Summer Bridge welcomed 76 incoming
freshmen from 23 different states,
allowing students coming to UA,
knowing no one from their home
town, to start the academic year off
with a network of friends. Max, from
Albuquerque, told us I think its
going to be good going into the year
knowing a few people, so youre not
completely alone. In fact, not only
do participants meet a number of
other incoming students who they
can connect with, they also have the
opportunity to continue working

with their Peer Advisor throughout
their freshman year.
To make a seamless transition into
their freshman year, students in Bear
Down Summer Bridge get to move
directly from their summer housing
into their academic year housing,
eliminating the need to move back
home or find storage for their belongings. Once they do, each participant
gets connected to one of five other
programs on campus, helping them
develop an even bigger network.
These include Panhellenic or Inter Fraternity Council recruitment,
Bear Down Camp, Hall Involvement
Team, a wilderness experience in the
Catalina Mountains, and a student
wellness retreat.
For the second year, the staff is
planning to grow the program to over
100 students and will be adding a
one-unit leadership course, meaning
students will be 4 units closer to their
degree when they start their freshman year. To learn more about the
Bear Down Summer Bridge Program,
visit bdsummerbridge.arizona.edu.
Students interested in participating
for 2016 should apply by June 29.

RAISING AWARENESS AND PROMOTING CONSENT
I WILL CAMPAIGN
Thanks to the efforts of a pair of

dedicated student leaders, support
from nearly 20 University of Arizona
departments and student organizations, and the backing of UA administrators and professional leadership,
the I Will campaign against sexual
assault kicked off this past spring
with a week of programming featuring resource fairs, workshops, discussions and more.
The weeklong, early-February
event a program that included
hours of tabling, 12 unique events
and also resulted in more than 3,000
signatures for its pledge to end rape
culture was the culmination of
the efforts of co-directors Tatum
Hammond, a junior majoring in
English and graphic design and the
administrative vice president of the
Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA), and Matthew
Lubisich, a sophomore majoring
in economics and political science
and an ASUA senator. The two had
been working on the campaign since
early last summer and, inspired by a
similar campaign at the University of
Michigan, developed their ideas into
a focus on education and involving
students from all facets of campus,
Hammond said.
From there, they reached out to
pretty much anyone that would
listen and worked to involve various
UA entities, ranging from the University of Arizona Police Department to
the Womens Resource Center.
Our goal, first and foremost, was
to be as inclusive as possible, and we
did that by making sure that every
group was a part of the conversation,
Hammond said. We reached out to
different departments to make sure
that it wasnt just one group that was
stating its opinion, but that we were
having all voices together. We felt like
that was really powerful.
With studies showing that 1 in 4
women and 1 in 20 men report being
the survivor of an attempted or completed sexual assault while in college,
according to the I Will campaign,

UA JUNIOR Tatum Hammond and sophomore Matt Lubisich are the co-directors
of the I Will campaign.
more than 3,000 individuals took the
step toward reversing those trends by
signing the I Will End Rape Culture
pledge as well.
There were a lot of [students] that
signed up [for the pledge] and they
just seemed really into it and really
spirited and I felt like they could
make a difference, said Genevieve
Wahlert, a freshman majoring in biomedical engineering who signed the
I Will pledge. I think if you just in-

form people and get the conversation

going that makes a big difference.
Both Lubisich and Hammond
stressed the importance of creating
a conversation about rape culture
through the I Will campaign. One of
the ways they set out to accomplish
this was through an emphasis on
education.
The main goal would be to actively educate the student body on
what rape culture is and how they
can combat it in their everyday lives,
Lubisich said.
To further this goal, both codirectors hope to make the I Will
week an annual program on campus.
Hammond also said she wants to try
to incorporate the campaign into new
student orientation.
The reality is that rape culture
doesnt end after one week of great
programming, Hammond said, adding that there are future events in the
works to keep the conversation going.
Wed really like to have the presence
of consent education at incoming
student orientation because sadly
consent education isnt something
that is ingrained into our educational
system prior, and I think its really
important for students to be able to
have that information accessible to
them before experiencing college.

can use to help guide your student on
the path to graduation.
> Academic Advising

Help your student move the
conversation with their academic
advisor beyond the question of, what
courses to take next semester by
discussing the following topics.
> Can you tell me about the types of
internships I can find in my major
and how I go about applying?
> Do you know of anyone in the field I
could interview to find out more information about their career? Where
are former students from this major
now?
> I may be interested in graduate (or
professional) school after I graduate. What steps should I be taking
now to get ready for the application
process? How do I go about exploring graduate program options?
> Can you recommend professors I
meet with to discuss research (or
career or graduate school) options?
> What questions should I be asking
you about my future in this field?
> Career Services

Your student will have questions
and it is important that they know
you are there to listen and support
them with their ideas; below are some
suggested topics to discuss.
> Encourage students to create and
share with you their Plans A, B and
even C in terms of their action plans
for their post graduate life. Give
them room to failthey will learn
from it!
> Share your networks and connections. Send students information
you know that relates to the field

> Keep your interactions positive and
supportive. Avoid nagging and interfering too much about what their
plans are. Finding the job and being
a successful employee is ultimately
up to your child. Avoid the temptation to do it for them or even worse,
pressure them to take a job they
dont want.
> Provide emotional support during
this very exciting time as they near
graduation and transition out of
school into the real world. They
are likely to experience stress and
disappointments along the way. Be
there with encouragement and reassurance.
> Be prepared to support them in
the challenges of the job search or
graduate school program that is the
best fit for them. Its their future!
> Alumni Association

With the UAs 100% Engagement
initiative, encourage your student to
look beyond classes and to become
involved.
> Encourage your students to look
for relevant work experiences and/
or internships. The key word is
relevant even if it is a volunteer
job, getting relevant experience
will make a huge difference upon
graduation. Conduct information
gathering interviews with alumni
who have careers that interest you.
Check out Alumni Associations
new mentoring platform and get
connected.
> Encourage them to register in UA
Career Services. This is an amazing
resource that they will never again
have in their lifetime. Employers
actually come to them and ask them
to interview! Join LinkedIn and
begin to establish a professional
online presence.
> Encourage them to get involved.
With over 500 clubs on campus
they should find something outside
of the classroom to pique their interest and take on a leadership role.
Demonstrating leadership will be
an important competency to show
employers upon graduation.

Proud Supporter of the UA Parents & Family Association

Marshall Foundation is a proud supporter of the University of Arizona, its families,
innovators, thinkers, and creators as the work you do enriches our community and
the world.
In 2015, Marshall Foundation gave to UA nearly $500,000 to support scholarships for Arizona residents. Additional
support was given to the University for the Think Tank which provides a positive environment where UA students can
master the skills needed to become successful lifelong learners.
The relationship between our founder, Louise Foucar Marshall, and the University began over 100 years ago in 1898
when she arrived in Tucson as a graduate student. She later became an instructor of botany, modern and ancient
languages and plane geometry. She was named a full professor of ancient and modern languages in 1901.
A shrewd businesswoman and a pioneer in Tucson, she bought land in and around the University and founded the
Foundation in 1930 to support education and youth, particularly those who were less fortunate. When Mrs. Marshall
died in 1956 at the age of 92, she left all of our assets to a volunteer Board of Directors who continue her legacy
of giving today.
Since that time, the Marshall Foundation through the management of its real estate assets on
University Boulevard and through the redevelopment of the area known as Main Gate Square
has donated over $20 million to the University of Arizona in scholarships, special projects,
and to not for proots in Pima County.

A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD

By Sam Gross (17)
When Paulo Goes left his job and

home country of Brazil, his family
didnt quite understand. Now, he says,
his family particularly his mother
is very proud.
The Eller College of Managements
newest dean, and the most recent
department head of the UA colleges
highly-ranked Management Information Systems program, left what he
described as a comfortable career as
a civil engineer to pursue a new path
in the United States one that would
ultimately bring him to Tucson and
the UA.
My father was a civil engineer, so
I didnt think much about doing anything else, Goes said. (But) I started
to like computers as a tool to do the
project planning, the project management.
For two years Goes worked in the
field managing construction sites.
But his passion for technology grew.
Eventually, I decided to quit my job.
My family thought I was crazy. It was a
good job.
Goes left to pursue a masters
degree in production engineering
from the Federal University of Rio

de Janeiro. While studying there he
became more and more involved with
computer information systems and
eventually began teaching classes.
Through this experience, he fell in
love with the academic profession.
This ultimately brought him to the
University of Rochester (N.Y.) and then
the University of Connecticut, where
he served for nearly two decades
before Eller and the UA came calling
in 2008.
Under Goes leadership, Ellers MIS
department has continued its run
as one of the nations best with its
graduate MIS program ranked third
and undergraduate MIS program
fourth in the nation by U.S. News &
World Report (Eller as a whole is No.
12 among public business schools
and No. 22 overall). Eller is in such
company on the MIS list as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
Carnegie Mellon University.
Additionally under Goes direction,
the department increased enrollment,
launched an online masters in MIS
program, and co-founded the INSITE
research center, which focuses on
big-data analytics programs for health

ELLER COLLEGE AND NEW DEAN PAULO GOES

renowned business school
> UAs
taps head of top-ranked MIS
department to take reins amid
new development, opportunity
care and other large data-driven industries. The department also generated
more than $85 million in grant funding
under Goes leadership helping Ellers
position as one of the leading business
schools in externally-funded research.
During his eight years leading Ellers
MIS department, Goes focus began to
shift more to the administrative side of
his role.
Ive always liked the administrative side, but I began to like it more and
more the idea of building programs,
and helping students, and mentoring
faculty and putting things together.
So when former dean Len Jessup left
to become the president of University
of Nevada at Las Vegas, Goes tossed his
hat in the ring although not immediately.
I have to confess, it took me a while
to decide whether I wanted to leave
this very comfortable job and challenge
myself with something new.
But with the encouragement and
support of other faculty members, Goes
went for it.

After a year-long national search,

Goes was selected out of the roughly
50 candidates vying for the opportunity. He took over the reins of the college
on March 14.
Paulo has demonstrated considerable skills as a thoughtful and effective leader and is widely respected
for his collaborative leadership style,
Andrew Comrie, the UAs senior vice
president for academic affairs and
provost, told UA News. He is also a
big-picture thinker who has developed
many creative relationships to grow
successful programs.
Marc Miller, dean of the UAs James
E. Rogers College of Law and chair of
the Eller dean search committee, said
the process was difficult due to Ellers
complex nature.
Ellers departments span a wide
range of business-oriented concentrations and expertise. Miller said
the committee realized it needed a
candidate who could be a sort of aca-
selves. So thats probably the most rewarding and exciting part of this job.
This transformative attitude is not
purely sentimental; it also translates
into the transformation the business
world is going through. Business has
become a more digitally-inclined
realm, and, to Goes, it is essential that
students are prepared for it.
The digital revolution, as Goes calls
it, requires a curriculum across all
departments that will make sense of a
more digitally-oriented world. Departments from finance to entrepreneurship are updating programming and
the way they teach classes.
Other significant Eller projects
already underway include the new
Professional Development Center a
$3 million infill project that is transforming the existing south-facing
courtyard at McClelland Hall into a
two-story enclosed space.
Goes is excited to be a part of it all.
I think Eller has a very bright future because I think that the skills that
professionals need, the knowledge
that organizations need in this new
digital world we have all of those
elements here.

demic jack-of-all-trades. This turned

a would-be quick search process into
one that spanned over a year.
He was clearly a respected candidate from the beginning, but there
were other very strong candidates
throughout the entire process, Miller
said. And at each stage, what happened was that Paulo Goes emerged as
the strongest person.
It was Goes peers the reviews of
those who had worked with him in the
past that moved him to the top of the
list, Miller said. Goes was described
as a modest and thoughtful leader
capable of taking a college shining on
nearly all fronts and pushing it toward
even further excellence.
Miller described Goes thoughtful,
cerebral and engaging nature as what
convinced him and the rest of the
committee.
I always marvel to look at our
students and how they develop and
how they do well, Goes said of transitioning into his new administrative
role. So, I think from the students
perspective, we are in this business of
transformation. We take the students
and we help them improve them-

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
HELPING YOUR STUDENT TAKE THEIR NEXT STEPS

By Damien Snook, Associate Director,
New Student Services
Welcome to the Wildcat family!

The next few months will be very busy
planning with your student for their
upcoming transition to the University of Arizona. We hope to make that
process a little bit easier through the
Next Steps Center and New Student
Orientation.
New Student Orientation is the time
when your student will get their first
chance to connect with the UA community as a student. They will meet
with an academic advisor, talk with
other new and current students, check
in with, and learn more about, campus
resources, and walk away ready for the
first day of class. In short, Orientation
is the time when your student outlines
their path to becoming a Wildcat for
Life.
You are also invited and encouraged to participate through our Family
& Guest Orientation program, which
is tailored to address the needs and
concerns of parents and other family
members. While your student registers
for classes, you have the opportunity
to learn more about services to help
your student succeed, meet staff from
across campus, and find out how to get
connected and stay involved with the
University. Come prepared with your

questions and experience the University of Arizona firsthand!
There are a few things for your
student to do in order to be ready for
New Student Orientation. Luckily,
the UA has you covered with the Next
Steps Center (nextsteps.arizona.edu) to
ensure they dont miss anything. The
Next Steps Center is the site wherein
your student will pay their enrollment
fee and register for an Orientation
The Big Blue House Inn
program. It is also where your student

needs to complete important academic
procedures to be ready for Orientation.
It is imperative that students complete their math, second language, and
writing placement before attending

NEW STUDENT
ORIENTATION
their Orientation program, and the

only way to do so is through the Next
Steps Center. The purpose of these
placement activities is to help your
student succeed in their first semester
by ensuring they register for the level
of classes that matches their current
abilities and experience. All students
should complete placement requirements at least seven business days
prior to their Orientation session.
The math placement exam consists of one of two tests based on your
students math experience: algebra
or calculus. Students should read all
instructions and dedicate three hours
to testing. If your student has prior college or AP credit, this information will
be accounted for in their placement.
Students who do not complete their
math placement will not be placed into
math classes or subject-dependent
courses such as science and statistics.
Through the Next Steps Center, your
student should complete the placement checklist items to determine if
they also need to take a second language or writing assessment. Students
will be asked about their experience,
provide information about prior and
anticipated credits, and be prompted
with further instructions if an exam is
needed.
Please make sure your student
utilizes the Next Steps Center on a
regular basis, so they are prepared
to attend and thrive at New Student
Orientation. Through Next Steps, your
student has the option to create a UA
Essentials account for up to five family
members. This account gives guests
information about important offices
and services on campus. Students
can also choose to give family members access to view their student and
financial information, and even make
payments through Guest Center, which
can be accessed with the UA Essentials
account.
If you have any questions in regards
to Orientation or Next Steps, dont
hesitate to contact us at (520) 621-5293.
Once again, welcome to the Wildcat
family, and we look forward to seeing
you and your student this summer at

as a Wildcat, during new student
orientation, or in materials youve

What does it mean for your son or

advantages compared
to the rest.
Student housing properties offer many choices depending on your budget. But few offer
safety, comfort, modern amenities, quiet environment, AND a low price. Yes, our lower
monthly rents include all utilities, HD Broadcast TV, and high-speed Internet.
Compared to the dorms:
Sahara offers many advantages compared to the dorms but most significant is the absolutely
lowest rental rate for double occupancy studios for students in Tucson when you consider
all the free services and amenities that are included in the rent. Our studio apartments are
larger than the dorm rooms, include full kitchens and baths, roommate matching service,
and we have onsite affordable hotel rooms available for family and friends. With all these
advantages, consider checking us out before you write that dorm check.
Compared to other properties:

Sahara offers easy choices. Share a studio with full kitchen and bath or live in that same studio
solo. Our single occupancy studios are some of the lowest priced in Tucson. Why take the
chance of ending up with the roommate(s) from hell when you can have a studio apartment
all to yourself for less? All students appreciate our 24/7 quiet environment, modern amenities,
and added savings compared to other properties.
Sahara Apartments advantages to maximize housing dollars:

We deliver modern amenities, advanced safety and security features, comfort, and quiet
environment unmatched by other properties. And with all these extras you still save big.

Quiet Student Living

they will face as UA alumni. Through

these experiences, students integrate
their knowledge of their academic
discipline, of the self and of others
and the world in ways that enhance
self-awareness, wisdom, character
and confidence.
How can your student participate
in this initiative to make the most
of your familys investment in the
UA experience? Here are few tips to
consider:
Seek deep involvement beyond
the classroom. Through this initiative, UA has become one of the first
universities to officially recognize
the importance of transformational
learning beyond the classroom with
a notation on the student transcript.
Students can subscribe to our Engage Page biweekly email newsletter,
visit the Office of Student Engagement website, or come to walk in
hours with a mentor in our office to
explore the co-curricular offerings.
In addition to a transcript notation,
when a student completes a course or
non-credit UA experience affiliated
with the initiative, the UA creates an
entry to recognize and document the
students experience in their Student
Engagement Record within the UAccess student records system.
Encourage your student to think
not only in terms of what job they
might do after graduation, but also
about what kinds of problems they
would like to be involved in solving and then to seek undergraduate
experiences accordingly. For example,
the student engagement initiative is
framed around a set of Activities and
Competencies that focus students
attention on framing their involvement in terms of higher order action
and purpose such as Leadership,
Sustainability, Entrepreneurship,
Community Partnership, etc. Framing
their interests in these terms can help
a student expand their ideas about
what kinds of projects will prove to be
worthwhile.
Faculty drive this initiative, so encourage your student to reach out to a
faculty member and ask for some time
to discuss goals and seek advice about
