    Sahara apartments is in its 11th year of operation  as a studenthousing project in Tucson. Ted Mehr, the owner of Sahara

    Apartments, has introduced a lot of innovations to the Tucson studenthousing market.

    Ted, who still manages the building on a day to day basis  developed this project as the “paranoid” father of a college agedaughter, who was concerned about his own daughter’s safety andcomfort when she had gone to live on her own while attending college.

    Some of Ted’s ideas have been duplicated by others, and some arestill unique to Sahara.

    For example, Sahara is still the only building that does notallow parties on site. Our motto is “The oasis for QUIET studentiving”. 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 tomake sure the violators understand that the policy is really enforced.When students move into Sahara, they get Ted’s cell phone ANDhome phone numbers, you know, just in case the cell phone runsout of battery right when someone needs to call. All residents areencouraged to call Ted if they feel uncomfortable about anything.That sort of attitude is not something that you will get from thecorporate-owned high rise competition.

    In case you think our no party policy means no fun, you shouldknow that Sahara has an activity director who organizes manygroup activities sponsored by Sahara where the residents get anopportunity to get together and do fun things as a group. For instanceat the time of this writing, for the month of October, we took our

    residents to Mt. Lemmon for the October Fest, Sabino Canyon for

    a 13 mile hike, “Tucson Meet Yourself” event downtown, had a ganight on site with free food and refreshments, and a movie night. Walso went to the Corn Maze for Halloween and to the “InternationFestival of Tucson”. And that was just for October!

    Sahara is still the only student building in Tucson that will giveevery resident a FREE bicycle to ride while living at Sahara. Weeven maintain and repair the bikes for free.

    Sahara is also the only student building that provides hotelaccommodations on site, where visiting family and friends can stawhen they come to visit our residents. The hotel also accommodat professors, researchers, workshop attendees and many groups ofinternational students that are placed at Sahara by the University.

    We treat our residents like they are expensive works of art in amuseum. Our gated community is protected with an infrared beamsystem that alerts the owner with an automatic cellphone call ifsomeone trespasses by climbing over the walls. 80 security camera

    record all events at the perimeter of the buildingand in the public areas.And our staff who live onsite are ready to respond required. These are somethe reasons why in our 10year history we have nevreceived a “Red Tag” frothe police department.

    Offering shuttle service to and from the campus is now standarpractice for a lot of buildings, but we do it every half hour from7 AM to 7 PM, on every school day.

    At Sahara, you can enjoy the privacy of having your own studioapartment for a lot less than a single occupancy room at the ResideHalls, or sharing an apartment at one of the high rise buildings wit people whose lifestyles may not be compatible with yours.

    While we admit we are not for everybody, nor do we want to be, this a lot more that you should know about Sahara before you decidewhat your choice of student housing should be.

    Check out our website and fnd out why Sahara has

     become more popular each year as the word hasspread that you can have a safe and quiet environmentand still have fun.

    In 2015, the offi ce of Academic

    Success & Achievement at theUniversity of Arizona launched theBear Down Summer Bridge Program,a four-week early start program thatwas designed with the needs of out-of-state students in mind. Buildingon the successes of the New StartSummer Program, which has a 47-year history on campus, Bear DownSummer Bridge allows studentsto take a general education coursewhile living in a residence hall andworking with Peer Advisors, ResidentAssistants, and Tutors. By gettingthis early start, incoming freshmencan experience life as a UA student,so when their freshman year actuallystarts they already feel like an expert.“I feel like a super-freshman. I feellike I should technically be called asophomore even though I’ve onlybeen here four weeks,” said Nyarah, a2015 participant from California.

    One of the goals of the programis to get students to feel at homeat the university and in their newcity. Through social and educational

    STARTING STRONGWITH BEAR DOWN SUMMER BRIDGE

    programs in the residence hall, groupdiscussions and one-on-ones withtheir Peer Advisors, and off-campusevents, program participants areimmersed in the UA campus and thecity of Tucson. This includes eventsthat get participants onto the SunLinkStreetcar so that they know how toget around town, and excursions topopular Tucson destinations.

    In its first year, Bear Down Sum-mer Bridge welcomed 76 incomingfreshmen from 23 different states,allowing students coming to UA,knowing no one from their hometown, to start the academic year offwith a network of friends. Max, fromAlbuquerque, told us “I think it’sgoing to be good going into the yearknowing a few people, so you’re notcompletely alone.” In fact, not onlydo participants meet a number ofother incoming students who theycan connect with, they also have the

    opportunity to continue workingwith their Peer Advisor throughouttheir freshman year.

    To make a seamless transition into

    their freshman year, students in BearDown Summer Bridge get to movedirectly from their summer housinginto their academic year housing,eliminating the need to move backhome or find storage for their belong-ings. Once they do, each participantgets connected to one of five otherprograms on campus, helping themdevelop an even bigger network.These include Panhellenic or In-ter Fraternity Council recruitment,Bear Down Camp, Hall InvolvementTeam, a wilderness experience in theCatalina Mountains, and a studentwellness retreat.

    For the second year, the staff isplanning to grow the program to over100 students and will be adding aone-unit leadership course, meaningstudents will be 4 units closer to theirdegree when they start their fresh-man year. To learn more about theBear Down Summer Bridge Program,visit bdsummerbridge.arizona.edu.Students interested in participatingfor 2016 should apply by June 29.

      THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA / SPRING   11

    UA JUNIOR Tatum Hammond and sophomore Matt Lubisich are the co-directorsof the “I Will” campaign.

    B A G (’19)

    Thanks to the efforts of a pair of

    dedicated student leaders, supportfrom nearly 20 University of Arizonadepartments and student organiza-tions, and the backing of UA admin-istrators and professional leadership,the “I Will” campaign against sexualassault kicked off this past springwith a week of programming featur-ing resource fairs, workshops, discus-sions and more.

    The weeklong, early-Februaryevent – a program that includedhours of tabling, 12 unique events

    and also resulted in more than 3,000signatures for its pledge to end rapeculture – was the culmination ofthe efforts of co-directors TatumHammond, a junior majoring inEnglish and graphic design and theadministrative vice president of theAssociated Students of the Univer-sity of Arizona (ASUA), and MatthewLubisich, a sophomore majoringin economics and political scienceand an ASUA senator. The two hadbeen working on the campaign since

    early last summer and, inspired by asimilar campaign at the University ofMichigan, developed their ideas intoa focus on education and involvingstudents from all facets of campus,Hammond said.

    From there, they reached out to“pretty much anyone that wouldlisten” and worked to involve variousUA entities, ranging from the Univer-sity of Arizona Police Department tothe Women’s Resource Center.

    “Our goal, first and foremost, was

    to be as inclusive as possible, and wedid that by making sure that everygroup was a part of the conversation,”Hammond said. “We reached out todifferent departments to make surethat it wasn’t just one group that wasstating its opinion, but that we werehaving all voices together. We felt likethat was really powerful.”

    With studies showing that 1 in 4women and 1 in 20 men report beingthe survivor of an attempted or com-pleted sexual assault while in college,

    according to the “I Will” campaign,

    ‘I WILL’ CAMPAIGNRAISING AWARENESS AND PROMOTING CONSENT

    more than 3,000 individuals took thestep toward reversing those trends bysigning the “I Will End Rape Culture”pledge as well.

    “There were a lot of [students] thatsigned up [for the pledge] and they

     just seemed really into it and reallyspirited and I felt like they couldmake a difference,” said Genevieve

    Wahlert, a freshman majoring in bio-medical engineering who signed the“I Will” pledge. “I think if you just in-

    form people and get the conversationgoing that makes a big difference.”

    Both Lubisich and Hammondstressed the importance of creatinga conversation about rape culturethrough the “I Will” campaign. One ofthe ways they set out to accomplishthis was through an emphasis oneducation.

    “The main goal would be to ac-tively educate the student body onwhat rape culture is and how theycan combat it in their everyday lives,”Lubisich said.

    To further this goal, both co-directors hope to make the “I Will”week an annual program on campus.Hammond also said she wants to tryto incorporate the campaign into newstudent orientation.

    “The reality is that rape culturedoesn’t end after one week of great

    programming,” Hammond said, add-ing that there are future events in theworks to keep the conversation going.“We’d really like to have the presenceof consent education at incomingstudent orientation because sadlyconsent education isn’t somethingthat is ingrained into our educationalsystem prior, and I think it’s reallyimportant for students to be able tohave that information accessible tothem before experiencing college.” Ava Garcia (’19) is majoring in journalism

    and Spanish.

     When Paulo Goes left his job andhome country of Brazil, his familydidn’t quite understand. Now, he says,his family – particularly his mother –is very proud.

    The Eller College of Management’snewest dean, and the most recentdepartment head of the UA college’shighly-ranked Management Informa-tion Systems program, left what hedescribed as a comfortable career asa civil engineer to pursue a new pathin the United States – one that wouldultimately bring him to Tucson andthe UA.

    “My father was a civil engineer, soI didn’t think much about doing any-thing else,” Goes said. “(But) I started

    to like computers as a tool to do theproject planning, the project manage-ment.”

    For two years Goes worked in thefield managing construction sites.But his passion for technology grew.Eventually, “I decided to quit my job.My family thought I was crazy. It was agood job.”

    Goes left to pursue a master’sdegree in production engineering

    ABOVE: New Eller College of Management dean Paulo Goes (center)converses with students inside McClelland Hall on the UA Campus.

    UA’s renowned business school

    taps head of top-ranked MIS

    department to take reins amid

    new development, opportunity

    from the Federal University of Riode Janeiro. While studying there hebecame more and more involved withcomputer information systems andeventually began teaching classes.Through this experience, he “fell inlove with the academic profession.”

    This ultimately brought him to theUniversity of Rochester (N.Y.) and thenthe University of Connecticut, wherehe served for nearly two decadesbefore Eller and the UA came callingin 2008.

    Under Goes’ leadership, Eller’s MISdepartment has continued its runas one of the nation’s best – with itsgraduate MIS program ranked thirdand undergraduate MIS programfourth in the nation by U.S. News &World Report (Eller as a whole is No.

    12 among public business schoolsand No. 22 overall). Eller is in suchcompany on the MIS list as the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology andCarnegie Mellon University.

    Additionally under Goes’ direction,the department increased enrollment,launched an online master’s in MISprogram, and co-founded the INSITEresearch center, which focuses onbig-data analytics programs for health

    care and other large data-driven indus-

    tries. The department also generatedmore than $85 million in grant fundingunder Goes’ leadership – helping Eller’sposition as one of the leading businessschools in externally-funded research.

    During his eight years leading Eller’sMIS department, Goes’ focus began toshift more to the administrative side ofhis role.

    “I’ve always liked the administra-tive side, but I began to like it more andmore – 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 Universityof Nevada at Las Vegas, Goes tossed hishat in the ring – although not immedi-ately.

    “I have to confess, it took me a while… to decide whether I wanted to leavethis very comfortable job and challengemyself with something new.”

    But with the encouragement andsupport of other faculty members, Goeswent for it.

      THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA / SPRING   23

    NEW ELLER COLLEGE

    DEAN PAULO GOESCONTINUED FROM PAGE

    After a year-long national search,Goes was selected out of the roughly50 candidates vying for the opportuni-

    ty. He took over the reins of the collegeon March 14.

    “Paulo has demonstrated consider-able skills as a thoughtful and effec-tive leader and is widely respectedfor his collaborative leadership style,”Andrew Comrie, the UA’s senior vicepresident for academic affairs andprovost, told UA News. “He is also abig-picture thinker who has developedmany creative relationships to growsuccessful programs.”

    Marc Miller, dean of the UA’s JamesE. Rogers College of Law and chair ofthe Eller dean search committee, saidthe process was diffi cult due to Eller’scomplex nature.

    Eller’s departments span a widerange of business-oriented concen-trations and expertise. Miller saidthe committee realized it needed acandidate who could be a sort of aca-

    demic jack-of-all-trades. This turneda would-be quick search process intoone that spanned over a year.

    “He was clearly a respected can-didate from the beginning, but therewere other very strong candidatesthroughout the entire process,” Millersaid. “And at each stage, what hap-

    pened was that Paulo Goes emerged asthe strongest person.”

    It was Goes’ peers – the reviews ofthose who had worked with him in thepast – that moved him to the top of thelist, Miller said. Goes was describedas a modest and thoughtful leader –capable of taking a college shining onnearly all fronts and pushing it towardeven further excellence.

    Miller described Goes’ “thoughtful,cerebral and engaging” nature as whatconvinced him and the rest of the

    committee.“I always marvel to look at our

    students and how they develop andhow they do well,” Goes said of tran-sitioning into his new administrativerole. “So, I think from the students’perspective, we are in this business oftransformation. We take the studentsand we help them improve them-

    selves. So that’s probably the most re-warding and exciting part of this job.”

    This transformative attitude is notpurely sentimental; it also translatesinto the transformation the businessworld is going through. Business hasbecome a more digitally-inclinedrealm, and, to Goes, it is essential that

    students are prepared for it.The digital revolution, as Goes calls

    it, requires a curriculum across alldepartments that will make sense of amore digitally-oriented world. Depart-ments from finance to entrepreneur-ship are updating programming andthe way they teach classes.

    Other significant Eller projectsalready underway include the newProfessional Development Center – a$3 million infill project that is trans-forming the existing south-facing

    courtyard at McClelland Hall into atwo-story enclosed space.

    Goes is excited to be a part of it all.“I think Eller has a very bright fu-

    ture because I think that the skills thatprofessionals need, the knowledgethat organizations need in this newdigital world – we have all of thoseelements here.”

    From our perspective, the wordfamily has many definitions, and itno longer identifies itself with onemeaning or a “blood lineage.” A greatdefinition found in the dictionary is:“a group of people united by certainconvictions or a common affi liation.”So however you identify your family,we invite you to join us and share inthe Wildcat Spirit, meet other familymembers, and Bear Down, you won’twant to miss it.
