To sustain world preeminence, 21st century university and college leaders in the United States are redesigning their institutions organizationally and culturally to align with the direction of local and global societies and markets. The New American University enterprise model at Arizona State University has become one of the leading organization and cultural redesigns in United States higher education since its inception in 2002. Yet, sustaining a 21st century model such as this one means every individual in the college or university must understand his or her specific role to further progress the new model forward. Therefore, to advance and sustain a 21st century higher education redesign model at a U.S. college or university, it becomes imperative that every master-level professional who works in the academic/student services field at the institution understand his or her specific role in helping to further progress the new model forward. To this end, there is a need to change the way graduate students in higher education/student affairs masters programs are educated to work in the 21st century institution. This change can prepare new professionals to understand these enterprise models and how to integrate them into their practice in order to meet the needs of the institution, local and global societies and markets. The purpose of this action research study is to highlight one program, the ASU M.Ed. Higher and Postsecondary program, and show how graduates from 2007 - 2011 understand New American University concepts and integrate them into professional practice within higher education. Through use of a quantitative approach, this action research study described how the ASU M.Ed. in Higher and Postsecondary program graduate students' understanding of New American University concepts informs their thinking and practice to lead and respond to changes and challenges facing today's 21st century higher education field.

This report details a prioritization value model that was created for the use of Arizona State University and ASU LightWorks in determining and implementing appropriate sustainability projects for removing greenhouse gas emissions. A thorough review regarding the current project selection process, and an extensive analysis into the desired state of the process was conducted for this paper. The newly developed prioritization model includes multiple attributes that rank and prioritize projects based upon the highest value as determined by criteria set forth by the university. Encompassed within this report are the steps in creating the decision model, as well as the benefits and additional uses of the model for the end user. From the analysis and model created, the end user has the ability to choose carbon neutral projects that better align with the vision of the New American University.

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded $15 million to the Algae Test-bed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3) at Arizona State University. ASU LightWorks is the university partnership that works to combine research into one strategic framework. The combination of both of these entities allows for a framework to address energy issues through collaboration with academic institutions, commercial enterprises, and national laboratories. The Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) partners with ATP3 and the facilities are located on ASU's Polytechnic campus. Part of NVG's research focuses on a gap analysis of what types of entities to partner with, but thus far partnerships include: the National Laboratories, Cellana LLC, Touchstone Research Laboratory, SRS Energy, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, and Commercial Algae Management. The goal of ATP3 is to create an open and collaborative network in geographically diverse locations, that allow for world-class expertise while addressing flexibility and customer service, as well as IP management within a tiered fee structure. The standard would be that ATP3 address the operational protocols, data collection and analysis, data management, quality control, modeling and assessment, and finally education and training. This allows ATP3 to be a quality testing facility for the algal research community, and the test-bed facilities will be located in Arizona, Hawaii, California, Ohio, and Georgia.
