Welcome
to the UA Wildcat Family!
Dear Proud Wildcat Parent & Family Member, Welcome to the 15th issue of the Parents & Family Magazine! You are receiving this magazine because you have made a generous donation to support the mission of the UA Parent & Family Association which provides outreach to parents and supports student success at UA. I want to thank you for your support! In addition, we send a complimentary copy of this magazine to parents and family members of incoming freshman and to current members of the freshman class thanks to a generous grant from the Freshman Fee Committee. I also want to thank our Corporate Sponsor, Don Francisco Coffee for their continued support! The spring semester is such a fun-filled time at the University of Arizona. As I write this the excitement of March Madness is in the air. Congratulations to the Mens Basketball Team, who advanced to the Elite 8. This April will see the return of Spring Fling to the UA Campus for its 40th Anniversary (see page 35) as well as the debut of UAs first team of womens sand volleyball (see page 27) as an NCAA sport at UA. The 150th Commencement of the University is just around the corner and is sure to be a spectacular send off for our seniors and Graduate Students. I want to officially welcome the parent and family members of our new Wildcats who will be joining us this fall. We know that parent support is an important part of what helps students successfully transition from high school to college and Parent & Family Programs will be a resource for you and your student. There is a special new student section in this Magazine which will give you some good information and resources (see page 14). You can also get involved with the Parent & Family Association by joining one of our committees or by attending or helping with some of our events. You can find information on getting involved as well as all of our social media links on our website: uafamily.arizona.edu Finally, thank you to all the parent volunteers who have helped us this year we couldnt do all this good work without your participation! I want to especially thank Charlene Duff and Patti Teter who planned and organized the Greater Phoenix Area Summer Send-Off for the past six years. I appreciate their vision, time and commitment to this event and to the Parents & Family Association. Charlene and Pattis special touch will be missed! With Wildcat Pride,

UA in Space
Dr. Lauretta presenting at TEDxTucson 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 first came to the UA in Fall 1988 as an incoming freshman majoring in Theoretical 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 influenced his career path, he said, The NASA Undergraduate Research Space Grant program inspired me. I got a chance to work on a real NASA project as an undergraduate at UA. This work defined my entire career path. Lauretta advises students who are interested in fields 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 find 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. The 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,This 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 OSIRISREx, helping with such diverse aspects such as writing system engineering, software development, business management, graphic art, scientific studies and representing the mission at public events. Dr. Lauretta explained the mission goals: OSIRIS-REx will visit the nearEarth asteroid Bennu map it to
understand its geology and composition, obtain a sample from its surface, and return it to Earth for scientific analysis.
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. The mission is funded by NASA, and the UA was awarded an unprecedented $189 million for its role in the project.
We hope to learn about the earliest stages of Solar System history as well as understand the likelihood of Bennu impacting the Earth someday. This 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. The launch is scheduled for September 2016, and the Continued on page 9

UA in Space
Continued from page 7 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 offer undergraduate parents, he shared his insights as a fellow parent: Try [to] find the right balance between helping your child find 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 figure 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. The 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.

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 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: A New and Improved UA Tradition!
Continued from page 14 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 family experience but also student clubs and committee experience. This coming year will offer many opportunities for clubs and organizations to participate in and fundraise, whether it be selling unique foods at Wildcat World Fair or providing entertainment 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 interactive 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 students 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://familyweekend.arizona.edu/ We are looking forward to seeing you there!
