Welcome to The University of Arizona! Whether you’re visiting campus as a

prospective student, as the parent of that student, or as someone who simply wants to know more about us, we’d like this guide to give you an idea of what a very unique place this is. Don’t let our rain-harvesting cisterns and solar panels fool you: We’re a lot older than we look. We were established in 1885, almost 30 years before Arizona became a state, and broke ground for our first building on land donated by two gamblers and a saloon owner. Humble beginnings indeed. Today, we’re excited about defining what it means to be a modern land-grant university. As we move toward becoming one of the 10 best public research universities in the country, our values remain the same as they were back in the late 19th century: to improve the lives of people in Arizona and beyond through our research and outreach. You’ll get a taste for how we’re doing this by reading this guide. Here are a few highlights: • If this is your first time to the Southwest – or even your hundredth – take some time to stop by the Arizona State Museum, where you’ll be transported thousands of years into the past. As the country’s largest nonfederal archaeological repository, the museum has more than 20,000 boxes of artifacts – everything from prehistoric tools to a pair of dentures from the 1930s (see p. 9). • When we opened the doors of Old Main to our first students in 1891, we offered two areas of study: agriculture and mining. Back then, of course, we didn’t know about concepts like “sustainability” and “climate change.” But we did know it gets a bit on the warm side here. So when Old Main was built, it was designed with deep porches and a partly recessed first floor – features that today are considered “green” construction practices. We’ve con-

tinued that tradition across the years, and across the campus. Some of our “green” buildings are highlighted in a self-guided tour (see p. 30) that I hope you’ll have time to take while you’re here. • The UA is about doing the right thing for the environment – and for each other. A great example is a student leadership program (see p. 12) we developed that is now a national model for NCAA schools. This innovative program not only teaches student-athletes to make good choices in their own lives but how to “step up” and take action when others are in trouble. • A new clinic we’re opening at the Arizona Health Sciences Center (see p. 47) will be the only outpatient pediatric center in Southern Arizona dedicated to helping children with neurological problems. The PANDA Children’s Neurological Center will bring together UA specialists in pediatrics, neonatology, epilepsy and other areas to provide coordinated care – and the best course of treatment – for these kids and their families. • Clinics and classrooms aren’t the only places where we’re improving lives. In fact, we’ve been doing some of this work right inside the homes of Southern Arizonans for half a century. Arizona Public Media – the home of our public radio and television stations – has been offering educational and entertainment programming since 1959 and today its television station KUAT Channel 6 is one of the most watched and most supported in the United States (see p. 20). These stories are just the beginning. I have tons more to share about the incredible things being done by our faculty, staff and students. But I think I’ll instead give you a chance to see it for yourself. Please spend some time enjoying our campus, meeting members of our diverse community and learning more about where The University of Arizona came from, where we are and where we’re going. Regards, Robert N. Shelton President

Everything in its Place With thousands of artifacts, dating from prehistoric times to just a few decades ago, The Arizona State Museum is the nation’s largest nonfederal archaeological repository. A

t first glance, the repository of the Arizona State Museum can be a bit overwhelming, with its trays of artifacts, stacks of boxes and piles of files. But repository curator Arthur Vokes, along with his assistant and a team of student employees and volunteers, knows there’s a place for everything, and everything has its place. As the nation’s largest nonfederal archaeological repository, the Arizona State Museum boasts an impressive array of artifacts beyond what visitors normally get to see in the facility’s display cases. Established in 1984 as the state’s official repository, the museum is charged under the Arizona Antiquities Act with receiving and managing any archaeological materials discovered on Arizona state lands. Artifacts unearthed in archeological excavations arrive in a relatively regular stream, with the repository processing between 700

and 1,500 cubic-foot-sized boxes of them per year. Everything from prehistoric tools and pottery shards to broken dishes and old soda bottles are labeled, cataloged and stored, along with documentation relevant to their origin. The repository is an important resource for archaeologists and researchers in Tucson and across the globe, who can access the collections for study. “It’s not just the artifacts the repository takes. It’s the maps, the notes – and that information is invaluable,” said Bill Doelle, president of the Tucson archaeology company Desert Archaeology Inc. and president of the nonprofit Center for Desert Archaeology. “Having them there at the repository to re-evaluate is an incredible resource.” About 17,000 boxes of artifacts line museum storage shelves span-

The Arizona State Museum processes up to 1,500 boxes of artifacts annually – mostly pottery and pieces made from stone, shell or bone. From top to bottom: A set of 109 shell beads dating back to A.D. 1000-1075; a side-notched Cienegastyle point dating back to 400 B.C. to A.D. 50; a pendant of turquoise and argillite on shell dating back to A.D. 1150-1300.

Anthropology undergraduate students Aazar Haddad and Erikalyn Bassaraba work to rehouse artifacts and upgrade inventory for the repository’s collections.

ning five floors. An additional 4,000 are housed in an off-campus warehouse. Artifacts processed in the repository are also photographed and inventoried electronically, as part of an ongoing effort to create a publicly searchable database of the museum’s collections. Much of the work is done by UA undergraduate and graduate students. For those students, who represent a variety of academic disciplines on campus, the opportunity to work with museum collections behind the scenes can be important career development. Rachel Hessick, a student curatorial assistant, categorizes artifacts as they come into the repository. Her work in the museum is helping her prepare for a potential career in museum education. “The most valuable thing I’ve learned, as an archaeology student, is the importance of what happens to artifacts after they’re dug up,” Hessick said. “It’s getting me familiar with museums and the education process.”

The majority of the finds – about 60 percent – brought in by archaeologists are pottery, Vokes said. Stone artifacts make up the bulk of the rest, with some bone and shell pieces mixed in. Then there are the occasional oddball, and more modern, discoveries – like a pair of dentures from the 1930s and a whole, unbroken 1920s light bulb with the filament still intact. Pieces worthy of public display are plucked from storage for inclusion in Arizona State Museum exhibits or are loaned to other museums. Many repository items are part of the museum’s prehistoric jewelry exhibit, “Set in Stone: 2,000 Years of Gem and Mineral Trade in the Southwest,” on display through February. The museum is also home to the world’s largest collection of Southwest American Indian pottery, with more than 20,000 whole vessels, many of which are on display as part of the ongoing exhibit “The Pottery Project.” With one of the world’s largest research collections focused on

Arizona’s historic and prehistoric cultures, the museum attracts researchers from across the globe. “Most states don’t have the richness of the archaeological record in the sense of having thousands of years of occupational history that is still essentially intact,” Vokes said. As growth and development continue statewide, bringing ongoing excavations of potential building sites, unearthed archaeological treasures will continue to come into the repository, he said. Before an archaeological project on state lands can get under way, companies must receive a permit and a repository agreement for their work, which is also handled through the Arizona State Museum. The museum issues agreements for anywhere from 70 to 100 projects a year, Vokes said, and once archaeologists’ excavations and reports are complete, they pay the museum a fee to manage and store their finds. An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Arizona State Museum is the oldest and largest anthropology museum in the Southwest, established in 1893. Visitors to the museum can explore indigenous cultures of Arizona and northern Mexico through exhibits of American Indian artwork and artifacts.

UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2009

A poster used to promote the STEP UP! program.

Doing the Right Thing An innovative program at the UA that teaches studentathletes to take action when their peers are in trouble is a national model for NCAA leadership training. While it’s easy for most people to tell the difference between right and wrong, it’s not always easy to witness a wrong and make it right. An innovative bystander intervention program at The University of Arizona, created for studentathletes, teaches participants not only how to make good choices in their own lives, but how to identify 12

and come to the aid of others in trouble. “Nine out of 10 students want to do the right thing, but may not have the skills or confidence, and we want to help,” says Becky Bell, associate athletics director at the UA, who spearheaded the development of the “STEP UP! Be a Leader, Make a Difference!” program.

Dubbed “A Prosocial Behavior/ Bystander Intervention Program for Student-Athletes,” STEP UP! focuses specifically on the bystander effect, a well-known phenomenon in social psychology in which an individual is less likely to help someone in need when a large group of people are present. The tendency to think that someone else will take care of the problem can lead to dangerous outcomes, which the STEP UP! program aims to prevent, Bell says. Bell, who heads the UA’s awardwinning C.A.T.S. (Commitment to an Athlete’s Total Success) Life

Skills Program, consulted with experts across the country in the various topic areas covered by the program to develop a curriculum that would reach students in a more meaningful way than a simple lecture on right and wrong. Developed in partnership with the NCAA, the STEP UP! materials have been sent to every athletics program in the NCAA, establishing the UA-initiated program as a national model for student-athlete leadership training. About 350 UA student-athletes have completed the interactive training since its launch in 2007. Athletes in all sports are encouraged to participate, and some coaches have even made it a requirement, Bell said. Athletes attend a three-hour, on-campus training session, which includes an interactive PowerPoint presentation, followed by a breakout session that allows groups of students to talk through possible real-life situations in which their intervention could make a positive difference. Each student receives a paperback “Student-Athlete Guide,” filled with examples of scenarios where they might ht be able to help, including situations ions involving alcohol, hazing, relationship elationship abuse, eating disorders, s, depression, discrimination and d more.

assume personal responsibility, know how to help, and implement the help – or “step up.” “It’s a great awareness program,” said UA student Pat Metham, a member of the UA men’s tennis team who went through the training. “Now I can recognize a situation that needs intervention; it’s much easier to pick up on it. It also helps people realize even one person can make a difference, and that the impact won’t go unnoticed.” Scott Goldman, a clinical and sports psychologist works with stuwho w dent-athletes at the dentUA, said the STEP UA UP! program U iis valuable because of its b proactive app “We’re trying proach, which p to encourage our encourages e sstudents to restudent-athletes es ally think about not only to be responsible and respectful the impacts of their behavior but also to be leaders in the community.” without using Scott Goldman, Clinical and sports psychologist stern lectures or scare tactics to get the mesidentifies several “Strategies for sage across. Effective Helping” in emergency “What we’re trying to do is proand nonemergency situations and mote healthy behavior and develop outlines “The 5 Decision Making a community that looks out for Steps”: notice the event, interpret each other,” he said. ”We’re trying the event as a problem/emergency, to encourage our student-athletes

not only to be responsible and respectful but also to be leaders in the community.” With peer pressure an undeniable part of college life, the program is a helpful reminder for students to make good choices, said one student-athlete who completed the training. “It really opens your eyes about what kinds of situations aren’t OK,” said Maggie Callahan, a member of the UA cross country and track and field teams. “Especially going into college, everyone’s trying to fit in and they’re not necessarily going to leave their comfort zone to help,” she added. Callahan is one of about 35 student-athletes in the UA’s P.A.L., or Peer Athletic Leaders, program, which Bell advises. The peer mentoring group is designed to help freshmen athletes make the transition into college. Teammate and fellow P.A.L. member Shelly Splittberger said STEP UP! helped provide her with valuable information to pass along to younger students. “Freshmen are always so willing to learn and look up to people so it’s such a benefit for upperclassmen” to go through the program, she said. Splittberger also appreciates that the program brings together athletes from all different sports on campus for a community-building experience. Although STEP UP! originally was designed for the student-athlete population, Bell notes that the program’s teachings are universally applicable, and many other schools across the country are adapting the program for use in divisions like Greek life, residence life, sexual assault centers and student affairs. Bell said she hopes the program will continue to grow, encouraging more people to take responsibility and step up. Alexis Blue, Office of University Communications

The harmony style known as “doo-wop” emerged from the streets of big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore and spread across the nation on radio waves and turntables. Every generation since has rediscovered the magic of doo-wop. Join us for an evening with the hit-makers, including Charlie Thomas and the Drifters, Jimmy Clanton and The Blue Suede Orchestra. Oct. 10 Tito Puente Jr. and Orchestra, 8 p.m. Celebrate the high-voltage, AfroCuban sounds that made the senior Tito Puente “El Rey,” the undisputed king of Latin music.

Oct. 24 Joan Osborne, The Holmes Brothers and Paul Thorn, 8 p.m. Since her first hit, “(What if God Were) One of Us” in 1995, Osborne has channeled classic soul singers into a unique style that’s won five Grammy nomi-

nations. The Chicago Sun-Times calls The Holmes Brothers “the undisputed masters of blues-based American roots music.” Former professional prizefighter and son of a Pentecostal preacher from Tupelo, Miss., Thorn performs songs from his new CD, “A Long Way from Tupelo,” with the searing yet incandescent voice of a Mississippi poet and prophet. Oct. 25 Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, 7 p.m. Founded in 1841 by citizens of Salzburg, together with Mozart’s widow, Constanze, the orchestra dominated 19th century Salzburg’s musical life and are today the city’s musical ambassadors to the world. Under the baton of Ivor Bolton, the 90-member orchestra continues to generate critical acclaim. Nov. 7 Kathy Mattea: Moving Mountains, 8 p.m. Grammy Award-winning Mattea has a string of folk and country hits, including “18 Wheels and A Dozen Roses” and “Where’ve You Been.” Her chart-topping 2008 CD, “Coal,” reveals her rich, compassionate alto at the height of her powers, and with a newfound passion for storytelling. Raised near Charleston, W. Va., she grew up immersed in

the Appalachian culture. She turned to bluegrass and her own family’s history in the mines to give voice to the sometimes humorous, often perilous, culture of coal mining. Nov. 14 Ballroom with a Twist, 8 p.m. “Dancing with the Stars” Emmy Awardnominated Louis Van Amstel produced, directed and choreographed this program of breathtaking performances and stunning costumes. With the same passion and excitement he displayed on television with his celebrity partners, he pushes the boundaries of ballroom dance, infusing it with the energy and intensity of the latest styles. Two talented singers join him and a dozen dancers from “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dancing With the Stars” and “High School Musical.” Nov. 20 B.B. King, 8 p.m. Legendary B.B. King is without a doubt the single most important electric

guitarist of the last half century and the reigning king of the blues. A singer capable of wringing every nuance from any lyric, he has released more than 50 albums, many of them classics. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and honored at the Kennedy Center, and he has earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of the Arts and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Dec. 6 Mannheim Steamroller, 2 p.m. Mannheim Steamroller is a group of the most talented and versatile musicians still touring the world. The band is a consortium of musicians, technicians and engineers using state-of-theart equipment to create Mannheim Steamroller’s signature sound. Of the top-selling bands of all time, Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas music has become synonymous with the season.

An idealistic political go-getter finds himself

embroiled in one of the most infamous political events of American history as he sets out to do good “for God, for country, and for Yale.” Featuring iconic figures such as Fidel Castro and Richard Nixon, this comic tale poignantly exposes the pitfalls of youthful innocence and its blind faith in a newly elected president, in revolutionary fervor and in the warm stirrings of first love. “Rum & Coke” offers an unforgettable glimpse behind the scenes of a defining moment for one young man and two nations. Adult language and themes. Oct. 4-25 The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman Tornabene Theatre This transcendent Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play tells the story of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Secretly living in a cramped attic with seven other people, Anne has only her diary in which to confide. In a reality where the slightest misstep could lead to detection, Anne chronicles the lives of the families forced into hiding. Insightful, honest and at times heartbreaking, this play shows us Anne and her family’s journey through fear and hope. Mature themes. Nov. 8-Dec. 6 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, music and lyrics by Carol Hall Marroney Theatre Featuring a catchy country-western score, this energetic and bawdy Broadway hit recounts the true story of the Chicken Ranch, a Texas brothel frequented by politicians, victorious football teams and even the town sheriff. At Chicken Ranch, it’s business as usual until Melvin P. Thorpe, an enterprising television anchor, targets his cameras at the house of ill repute. A tale of smalltown vice versus righteous indignation, this rollicking romp will have you pulling on your cowboy boots and stomping along! Mature language and themes.

UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2009

Fit at 50 An Arizona Public Media member gets a digital television camera demonstration from staffer, 2009.

On air since 1959, KUAT is one of the top 10 most watched and most supported public television stations in the country. If you’re a fan of public broadcasting – specifically National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service – you’ll be happy to know you can easily find these broadcasting services in Southern Arizona. If your morning routine includes tuning into “Morning Edition” on your radio, you can find it on KUAZ 89.1 FM, where listeners also get a healthy dose of local news and evening jazz. Television viewer favorites like “Antiques Roadshow,” “NOVA” and the “NewsHour with Jim Lehrer,” can be 22

found on KUAT Channel 6. Classical music is offered 24 hours a day on KUATFM 90.5, and a full range of on-demand videos and program schedules are available on the Web at AZPM. org. This year KUAT Channel 6 and its public media organization celebrate 50 years of service to the Tucson community and Southern Arizona. KUAT is one of the top 10 most watched and most supported public stations (per capita) in the country, and is ranked No. 1 when

compared with stations licensed to Top-10 public research universities. During an average week, more than 380,000 people in Southern Arizona watch or listen to one or more of our stations. And Channel 6 has the greatest market share among all stations in Tucson for children ages 2-11. “When I had small children at home, they literally grew up with public television … whether it was for entertainment or educational programming, that’s where they wanted to be,” said University of Arizona President Robert N. Shelton. “My wife and I still thrive on

the programming that KUAT and public television provide.” In the land grant tradition of the UA, Arizona’s first university, KUATTV-6 launched on March 8, 1959, and was the first public station in Arizona. The call letters approved by the FCC stand for “University of Arizona Television.” The name Arizona Public Media, AZPM for short, was adopted last year for the parent organization of the UA public media stations, now offering six channels of television content on two full-power digital transmitters and a cable channel, and three channels of radio. All of these services operate from a facility on campus that was built in the 1960s for a single TV station. “It’s been a long trail from the first time I watched a very snowy KUAT in Bisbee to the all-digital TV signal in 2009,” said nationally renowned author J.A. Jance, a KUAT fan. KUAT has delivered consistent, award-winning, in-depth news and public affairs, science and nature, arts, entertainment and educational children’s programming for decades, and has moved in a bold way into the digital age, offering local coverage in virtually every available communications platform. Quality programs providing unique local perspectives and

UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2009

covering important happenings in this community include “Arizona Illustrated,” “The Desert Speaks,” the “Tucson Remembers” series and “Phoenix Mars Mission: Ashes to Ice,” as well as the “Arizona Spotlight” weekly radio program. In the coming years, Arizona Public Media will continue to explore all options to keep the organization cost effective, more visible and more responsive to both the local community and the campus community. These efforts are not simply reactive to current conditions, but reflective of the responsibility AZPM carries as custodian for precious resources provided through the generosity of members, corporate underwriters and the UA. So enjoy your favorite public broadcasting programs while you visit the Tucson area and the UA. And maybe you’ll even hear or see a few new local programs that will give you even more appreciation of public broadcasting. As you explore new things around Southern Arizona, it’s always comforting to hear a familiar voice through Arizona Public Media that will make Tucson feel even more like home.

Additional space is provided in Old Main for first television equipment acquired, in the academic year 1954-55. January Radio and Television Department outgrows its housing in Old Main and moves to the newly remodeled Herring Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. November The 250-foot broadcast tower adjacent to Herring Hall is completed. Expected coverage is 20 miles using 1,000 watts of power.

KUAT-TV is launched as first educational, noncommercial television station in Arizona, as an affiliate of National Education Television. Call letters stand for “University of Arizona Television.” Oct. 1 Television transmissions in color begin from new tower on Mount Bigelow. Also this year: Television facilities are moved into newly completed Modern Languages building, and studio recording in color begins.

Oct. 5 National Education Television is replaced with Public Broadcasting Service.

While The University of Arizona’s colors remain a bold red and blue, visitors to campus might also notice a touch of “green” in the mix, as the University strives to become a leader in environmental sustainability. As groundbreaking research on solar energy, global warming and other topics in earth and environmental science takes place in labs throughout the University, one special UA tour is highlighting ways the campus itself is going green. The self-guided Sustainability Walking Tour was developed by the Campus Sustainability Committee, a group of faculty, staff, students and administrators committed to

practicing sustainability on campus. Created in 2007 at the request of UA President Robert N. Shelton, the committee is chaired by professor Glenn Schrader, head of the UA’s chemical and environmental engineering department. “The vision behind campus sustainability is to use the University as a laboratory for sustainability,” Schrader said. “We can’t just instruct about sustainability. We have to practice it also.”

The tour is part of the Sustainability Committee’s “Project Sage: A Different Shade of Green” initiative. A shade of green well-represented in the southern Arizona Desert, sage was also one of the UA’s first official school colors, paired with silver. The word “sage” further indicates learning and wisdom, imperative to discussions about sustainability. The Sustainability Walking Tour offers just a glimpse of the important sustainability efforts on the UA

The self-guided Sustainability Walking Tour features buildings that demonstrate the UA’s commitment to being a leader in sustainability – a tradition that began with Old Main, which was completed in 1891.

The UA’s oldest building, Old Main, is shaded by deep roof overhangs, while a partially recessed ground floor helps regulate temperature.

UA Visitor Center Two 2,000-gallon metal cisterns collect rainwater used to water plants, and 36 rooftop photovoltaic solar panels produce 8,500 kilowatthours of direct electric current annually.

• Find more information about UA sustainability efforts at www.sustainability.arizona.edu.

Old Main The UA’s oldest building, completed in 1891, boasted environmentally friendly features long before the modern green movement. Deep roof overhangs shade the walls of the red brick building, while a wraparound porch provides a shady place to sit. A ground floor that’s partially recessed into the earth provides additional thermal control.

features include a 12,000-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern, integrated into the building, and walking pathways made from recycled brick and concrete.

Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering In 2006, students, staff and faculty worked to contour bases around trees to capture roof rainwater runoff that once drained into adjacent streets.

Thermal Ice Storage Plant A unique ice storage system uses chillers to make ice at night. During the day, the ice melts to cool campus buildings, saving the University more than $400,000 a year in energy costs.

Meinel Optical Sciences Expansion A windowless southern building facade reduces the impact of the desert sun, while a glass curtain wall on the north facade provides views and natural light. Relief air from the building cools a sunken outdoor amphitheater.

Manuel Pacheco Integrated Learning Center The underground building features the UA’s first “green roof.” A thick, multilayered turf panel, irrigated with reclaimed water, provides excellent insulation.

Laboratory for Tree-Ring Research Through the scientific study of tree rings, a field established in 1937 at the UA, researchers can uncover important information about climate change to help them predict future environmental issues.

Student Recreation Center Expansion This 53,000-square-foot project is the first and only UA building to seek a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Among the facility’s environmentally friendly features is flooring made from re-

newable materials and eco-friendly wood, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. According to University policy, all new construction on campus must meet LEED standards.

Campus Arboretum With 7,000 trees and native and low-water use plants, the UA is home to the oldest continually maintained green space in Arizona. As part of the UA’s outreach mission, Schrader said he hopes the Sustainability Walking Tour will help open the University to the public in a new way, allowing community members to explore campus features they once may have overlooked. Finally, it’s worth noting what makes this tour particularly ecofriendly: It’s completely powered by your feet. Alexis Blue, Office of University Communications

The PANDA Children’s Neurological Center will be the only outpatient pediatric center in Southern Arizona dedicated to helping children with neurological problems.

Coordinated Care for Kids

Syd Clark-Yawitz, 5, is one of the millions of children in the U.S. struggling with a neurological disorder.

S

yd Clark-Yawitz is an energetic and exuberant 5-year-old who loves to play basketball, swim, read books and listen to classical music. Adopted by his parents through foster care, Syd was born with neurological issues that have resulted in behavioral problems. Syd is just one of the millions of children in the U.S. struggling with a neurological disorder. Complex and often difficult to treat, neurological problems in children can be very frustrating for families. Typically, the children need to be seen by a variety of specialists and

therapists. Care is often difficult to find, challenging to coordinate and incredibly wearisome to parents already overwhelmed by the issues confronting the child.

“When we moved to Tucson, it was very difficult to get an appointment with a specialist,” says Dennis Yawitz, Syd’s father. “Having a child who desperately needs help quickly, and not being able to get it, is horrible – you feel like you are letting your child down.” Hope is on the horizon. As a result of the fundraising efforts of The University of Arizona’s Steele Children’s Research Center volunteer group PANDA (People Acting Now Discover Answers), Tucson will soon have an outpatient pediatric center devoted to helping children with neurological problems. Currently, no such facility exists in Southern Arizona. Nearly $1million was raised from this year’s annual PANDA “Children Helping Children,” fashion show in Phoenix. Approximately $2 million more will be raised to complete the facility, which will be located within University Medical Center. Scheduled to be completed in

about a year, the new facility – the PANDA Children’s Neurological Center – will treat children suffering from neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and autism, to name a few. The center will employ multidisciplinary teams of pediatric specialists and therapists working together to evaluate, diagnose and develop specialized treatment plans for each patient. Specialists include neurologists, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, neonatologists, epileptologist (doctors who specialize in the treatment of epilepsy), and speech, occupational and physical therapists. “Right now, countless children in Tucson and Southern Arizona with neurological problems are not receiving many of the subspecialty services they need, because we don’t have centers to provide this coordinated care,” says Syd’s pediatric developmental physician, Dr. Continued on page 49

Coordinated Care for Kids Continued from page 47

Sydney Rice, assistant professor of developmental and behavioral pediatrics in the UA department of pediatrics. “Children with neurological conditions have many complex issues, so it will be enormously beneficial to have all of the specialists in one outpatient location, working as a team to help these children,” Rice says.

“Once Syd saw Dr. Rice, things started getting better,” recalls Yawitz. “She arranged for occupational therapy as well as a consultation with a behavioral specialist, who was fantastic. Everything is looking up now, but if all of the services had been available in one location, it would have been much less stressful.” The center’s connection to the Steele Center will make it unique within Arizona, as well. “The Steele Center’s ability to conduct research allows us to discover new treatments, and move into the clinical arena with them,” says pediatric intensivist Dr. Andreas Theodor-

ou, a professor of pediatrics. “This will enable the Steele Center to recruit those experts who provide clinical care and conduct research to provide this much needed care for our patients.” “Tucson desperately needs this center, and the PANDAs are a blessing for all the money they raised for the UA Steele Center to make the neurological facility a reality,” Yawitz says. “It will be an asset to the entire community.” To learn more, visit www.steelecenter.arizona.edu.
