ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY

October 15, 2000

Amid the excitement of one millennium's end and another's beginning, it is especially rewarding to be at Arizona State University today. We continue to make great progress in many areas, but none more significant to the future of the state and the nation than in engineering. Our commitment is reflected in the recent U.S. News & World Report ranking of graduate schools (ASU is now 49th in Engineering and 18th in Industrial/Manufacturing) as well as in our continuing expansion of our research facilities and our relationships with local and national industry.

Although we intend to keep our rankings moving upward in the new millennium, education is not just about rankings and numbers, it is about giving highly qualified students the opportunity to develop their potential to its fullest and partnering with industry to bring the results of innovative research into the lives of citizens everywhere.
The opportunity to host a significant conference like the 19th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy is both a validation of ASU's commitment to excellence in engineering research and an opportunity to put our research facilities on display to all who attend. We are proud to join with the American Vacuum Society in sponsoring this year's conference
On behalf of the ASU family, I welcome all of you to Arizona, to Tempe, and, most especially to Arizona State University.

Sincerely,
Lattie F. Coor

President
