By Cari Tusing, PFA Graduate Assistant
Dante Lauretta has been a professor in the University of Arizonas Department of Planetary Sciences since 2001, but his Wildcat story begins much earlier. Dr. Lauretta fi rst came to the UA in Fall 1988 as an incoming freshman majoring in Th eoretical Mathematics. When I asked him to share one of his memories as an undergraduate, Dr. Lauretta replied, I have so many great memories of my time at UA. I made sure to not only take courses related to my science degree but also [to] take some time to learn about new and off -beat topics. One of my favorite classes was Backpacking where we went hiking every weekend and spent time exploring the great national forests around Tucson. Lauretta took an extra year at the UA to additionally major in Physics and Japanese while he was exploring his career opportunities. When I asked how his experience at the UA infl uenced his career path, he said, Th e NASA Undergraduate Research Space Grant program inspired me. I got a chance to work on a real NASA project as an undergraduate at UA. Th is work defi ned my entire career path. Lauretta advises students who are interested in fi elds like science,
technology, engineering, and math to get involved in a research project early. Find a professor or a research group that is working on something you are interested in and fi nd a way to join the team. Volunteer if necessary most professors and researchers reward initiative. Lauretta is the principal investigator of OSIRIS-REx, the biggest NASA mission the UA has ever taken on with a whopping budget of just under $1 billion. Th e mission is funded by NASA, and the UA was awarded an unprecedented $189 million for its role in the project.As UA Regents Professor Michael Drake observed,Th is is enormous to the UA, bringing enormous opportunities for students to get involved. Most people dont realize that undergraduates get to work on these missions, and they get paid for it. In fact, Dr. Lauretta has over 50 students working with him on OSIRIS-REx, helping with such diverse aspects such as writing system engineering, software development, business management, graphic art, scientifi c studies and representing the mission at public events. Dr. Lauretta explained the mission goals: OSIRIS-REx will visit the near-Earth asteroid Bennu map it to
understand its geology and composition, obtain a sample from its surface, and return it to Earth for scientifi c analysis.
We hope to learn about the earliest stages of Solar System history as well as understand the likelihood of Bennu impacting the Earth someday. Th is type of carbon-rich asteroid has never been visited by a spacecraft before, and the mission will bring new knowledge from the earliest remnants from the formation of the solar system. Th e launch is scheduled for September 2016, and the

spacecrafts journey to extract a sample and return it to Earth will last seven years! In addition to his long-term commitment to the OSIRIS-REx mission, Dr. Lauretta is an active professor at the UA. He expressed what he enjoys about teaching undergraduates: I love the energy that I get from motivated and intelligent students. I am a strong believer in the power of education to inspire the next generation of leaders. I look at my job as being a provider of opportunities to students. Not all take it but when I see a student really take off because of something that I helped with it is a great feeling. When I asked Lauretta for advice to off er undergraduate parents, he shared his insights as a fellow parent: Try [to] fi nd the right balance between helping your child fi nd the right path and letting them explore on their own. I am a parent of two young boys so I can only imagine what it is like to have a child in college. However, I am always trying to give them just enough guidance to fi gure out their own path. I expect that the same will be true when
they are college-bound. If you would like to follow the fascinating progress on the asteroid mission, Dr. Lauretta has shared a number of outlets. One such resource is 321-Science, a series of snappy, short videos that use a graphic quick-draw white-board to illustrate basic science concepts behind OSIRIS-REx, which are entertaining for aspiring scientists of any age. Th e asteroid mission is also famous on Facebook and Twitter! Please see Dr. Dante Laurettas personal blog for his witty, thoughtful commentary, and the UA News for an additional interview featuring Dr. Lauretta.

Family Weekend, Oct. 10-12, 2014
New Student Orientation
By Stefanie Basij, Assistant Director, Enrollment Services
Welcome to the Wildcat family! Th e next few months will be very busy plan-ning with your student and their upcom-ing transition to the University of Arizona and key to that process is New Student Orientation.
New Student Orientation is the time when your son or daughter will get their fi rst chance to connect with the UA com-munity as a student. Th ey will meet with their academic advisor, talk with current students, check in with campus resources, and walk away ready for the fi rst day of class. In short, orientation is the time at which your student outlines their path to becoming a Wildcat for Life.
Th ere are a lot of things to do in order to be ready for your students New Student Orientation program, and you may be thinking: We need to put a list together to make sure we dont miss anything! Know that UA has you covered with the Next Steps Center (nextsteps.arizona.edu). Th e Next Steps Center is where your student will go to pay their enrollment fee and register for an orientation program. Additionally, the Next Steps Center is the means by which your student can com-plete the necessary academic procedures to be ready for orientation.
It is imperative that students com-plete their Math, Second Language, and Writing placement before attending their orientation program, and the only way to do so is via Next Steps. All students should complete placement requirements at least seven business days prior to their Orientation session. Course registration is dependent on completion of the place-ment processes.
Th e Math placement exam is just that, an exam that students take online in their Next Steps Center. Th ere are two tests that students can take based on their math experience: Algebra or Calculus. Students should read all instructions and should dedicate three hours to testing. If your student has prior college level credit or is expecting to complete an AP exam, this information will be accounted for in your
students placement. Students who do not complete their math placement will not be placed into a Math class or courses related to math placement such as Science and Statistics.
In order to fulfi ll the placement require-ment for Second Language and Writing, students need to click on the correspond-ing checklist items and answer questions to determine if they need to take an exam. It is recommended that all students test in the Second Language they took while in high school even if your student is think-ing about taking a diff erent language at the UA. Th is checklist item will also ask students about prior credit and antici-pated AP exams. Many students will fulfi ll

Family Weekend began in the mid-1980s as Parents Day and was renamed to Family Weekend to incorporate a larger group of people. Family Weekend is a yearly tradition that incorporates academ-ics, athletics and family values. Th ough the tradition of the weekend remains constant,
the theme and events change yearly. In the past, themes have included Under the Big Top and Rodeo. Each year we take a survey of participants and try to improve on what is being off ered for students and their families.
Th is coming Family Weekend October 10-12 will be the biggest one yet. Th e ASUA

the Writing placement without needing to test. Students need to complete the item by providing information about dual enrollment and transfer credit. If an exam is needed for placement your student will be prompted to do so within the checklist.
Please make sure your student checks in on their Next Steps Center on a regular basis so they are prepared to attend ori-entation. Again, welcome to the Wildcat family.

Portland, Oregon Summer Send-Off
By Jill Hall
For more than 13 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 are also 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 parents
Youre invited to the 2014 Summer Send-Offs!
of the UA, summer send-offs begin in early July with a culmination send-off in Phoenix. Incoming freshmen 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 and staff members for questions and answers. In 2013, more than 24 national alumni chapters and UA parents hosted summer send-off events. A comprehensive lineup also is scheduled for 2014. For more information about 2014 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.

NEW WILDCATS
Family Weekend team, consisting of four students, is working hard to improve on the past weekend experiences and make an impact on both students and parents. These changes will affect not only the fam-ily experience but also student clubs and committee experience. This coming year will offer many opportunities for clubs and organizations to participate in and fund-raise, whether it be selling unique foods at Wildcat World Fair or providing entertain-ment at one of the many other events. The Family Weekend team is hoping to get a larger population of students involved and really show families what their students are capable of.
Another change the University is very excited about is the revamp of the carnival. In 2014 the carnival section will become a mini Spring Fling, bringing fun and interactive activities that not only children but also students and families can enjoy. This event will be more interac-tive and mature so that it is a main focal point of the weekend and provide families with good-hearted fun, without having to pay to go to the fair.
The University of Arizona wants to give families an event that will allow them to visit their students, some who may soon be headed off to future graduate schooling in another state or country, as well as stu-dents who have just spent their first three months living away from home. Those who attend Family Weekend 2014 will have a unique experience at the University, being able to both see how a student lives, and also learn some of the Wildcat traditions that make us such an amazing institution. If you or your family is interested in being a part of the revamped Family Weekend, be on the lookout for more information about registration and specific events coming soon to the website: https://fami-lyweekend.arizona.edu/ We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Th e Harleys are quite the Wildcat family. Among them are several alumni, supporters, and even current students. Recently, this wonderful Wildcat family became even more involved in the University of Arizona by establishing an endowed scholarship. Th is generous gift was prompted by personal adversity and was created to alleviate similar barriers to current and future University of Arizona students.
Th e BC Harley Family Endowed Scholarship grew out of a dream to honor the life of Brock Christopher Harley, a young boy who battled illness in his fi rst year of life and left the world too soon. In addition to remembering Brock Christopher Harley, the scholarship was established to acknowledge the brave and courageous members of the extended

The University of Arizona Spring 2014 27
By Ryan Dunn
It is not often you fi nd siblings at the same school together, let alone on the same team together! For twins Madison and McKenna Witt, however, they get the best of both worlds as members of the inaugural University of Arizona sand vol-leyball team.
Th e Witt twins were two of the fi rst re-cruits to sign with Arizonas newest sport, which was announced on January 15, 2013. Th e Arizona Department of Athletics announced that the beach was coming to the desert as sand volleyball was going to be the schools 20th NCAA sport, with competition beginning in Spring 2014. Th e sport was the fi rst added by the University of Arizona since womens indoor track and fi eld team in 1998.
Madison and McKenna, from Glendale, Ariz. and Mountain Ridge High School, had plans to play indoor volleyball at another school before the unexpected op-portunity came up at the U of A. As soon as they visited campus, they knew it was the place for them.
We just loved the coaches, the atmo-sphere and the girls on the team, Madison Witt said of their initial visit to the U of A. Th ey say you get a good feeling when you come to the right school and we defi nitely got that here. And we still love it.
After more than a year of planning,
UAs First Sand Volleyball TeamWildcats Bring the Beach to the Desert
scheduling, recruiting and building a facil-ity, Arizona is prepared for its inaugural season this upcoming March. In addition to announcing the new sport last January, the U of A also announced that longtime indoor volleyball assistant coach Steve Walker would lead the new sand program.
Sand volleyball rules state that the team may consist of indoor volleyball players but scholarship sand players are not allowed to play indoor volleyball. With that in mind, Walker scoured the west coast looking for sand-only players that would fi t. With just a few months to recruit, Walker signed his initial recruiting class last April. A group of four pledged to play for Arizona: three high school se-niors and one junior college transfer. Th e twins were members of the initial class along with Sarah Seiber and junior college standout Allie Cook.
Th e four sand-only players were able to take part in individual drills during the fall in preparation for the spring season, while the other players had a successful season with Arizonas indoor volleyball team. Th e twins were able to get some valuable experience during the fall ses-sion.
Fall training was tough for us since we just started playing the sand game, Madison said. Th e coaches had a lot of patience with us. Th ey literally built us from the ground up. Th ey taught us all of
our fundamentals and we basically just started over. Th ere were just three of us so we were getting a lot of reps at practice.
Th e team trained at the Tucson Rac-quet Club during the fall while the new on-campus facility was under construc-tion. Meanwhile, the Arizona Sand Vol-leyball Courts were completed at the end of 2013, and it has sure been a wonderful addition to campus.
At fi rst, driving to the Tucson Racquet Club with the team was a good bonding experience, but now we are so spoiled with this new facility, McKenna said. Th e sand here is just phenomenal. It is literally just a hidden paradise.
Th e team held its fi rst full squad practice at the new facility on Jan. 16. Although they are only freshmen, the Witt twins have some advantages over many members of the team. Along with the ad-vantage of an entire fall of sand training, the Witts have been playing together their entire lives.
We have really improved a lot, Madi-son said. We will go home and Ill tell McKenna, You did this good today or you need to improve on this. We strategize to-gether, and we tell each other what we did wrong. I dont want my sister to be better than me, but I know she doesnt want me to be better than her. I think it is a huge

advantage just be-cause of the chemistry. I know what moves she is going to make and I know how to pick her up if she is down.
With the inaugural season in full swing, the twins have enjoyed their time at the new facility. Th ey have also enjoyed their team-mates.
It is a dream come true out here, McK-enna said. All of the girls fi t really well. We are all learning together and its really good competition. We are getting better every day it is paradise out here.
Th e Witt twins have been inseparable their entire lives, and now they will get to experience another four years together as fellow University of Arizona students and teammates. It was something that might not have been possible without the schools addition of sand volleyball.

Wildcats Bring Beach to the Desert
We never even talked about college but it just kind of worked out for us to be at the same school, McKenna said. I never thought about having to split up with my sister just because we have never been split up before, and now she is my teammate. We seriously have so much fun together. She is my best friend, and we love playing. Th is is our passion playing out here, and we get to share it together, which is even cooler. Its just a dream.
We love taking Wildcats home for the holidays.ALASKA, AMERICAN, DELTA, SOUTHWEST, UNITED, US AIRWAYS

What we accomplished is something you dream about, Shugrue said.
This whole competition was voluntary, so when you work hard and see this type of results, it feels pretty good.
Our whole team appreciates every-thing Eller does though; we know this would not have been possible without the great faculty working within Eller.
Faculty advisor Joe Fonte assisted the team in its win.
Were proud of Drew, Spencer, Derek, and Ryan, saidLen Jessup, Dean of the Eller College.
Eller Wildcats are indeed the very best in the country, whether on the sports field
or court, or in the classroom or board-room.
More than 2,200 students from 43 col-leges and universities participated in the annual PricewaterhouseCoopers account-ing case competition.
In addition to providing an opportunity to test presentation skills in a real-world setting, the competition offers the chance to learn more about high-level accounting policy issues and compete for cash prizes at the local and national levels.
The UA winning team was awarded $10,000, plus an additional $10,000 to allocate to DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that supports public school teach-ers and their students.

miles north of campus to Rillito Downs.Despite the move, Spring Fling remains
a Tucson staple and has solidified its place as a UA tradition. More than 25,000 annual attendees still enjoy food, rides, and fun, and the event holds the distinction of being the largest student-run carnival in the nation. But it just wasnt the same as the halcyon days on campus.
Its going to be something that many people have not seen even those who have worked here for the past 20 years. Its going to be magical, Young says.
The Spring Fling 40th Anniversary Committee is responsible for much of that magic and bringing history back to
life. Alumni are invited to partake in a weekend full of events, and the committee is asking attendees past and present to send photos, stories, and memories of past years to [email protected]
Since the beginning, Spring Fling was designed to support the 500+ campus clubs and organizations which are part of ASUA. For many of the participants this is their biggest fundraising event of the year.
This is how they fund their programming, scholarships, events, and so much more, says Young.
The event goes beyond money, however. Volunteers and club members gain invaluable hands-on experience in

The importance of Spring Fling shines throughout campus and Tucson. The money raised goes right back to campus and local non-profits. Plus, who doesnt love food, games, and rides? Spring Fling is a great way to bring the city together and its here to stay hopefully on campus!
