As we enter the seventh week of the semester, it is an appropriate time for retrospect and a look to the future. Conduct an academic checkup: Are you taking advantage of help sessions and mentoring? Have you asked your professors and academic advisor for counsel with regard to your courses? Do you engage in regular pinups with studio classmates? Are you wise with investing your time?
During the Dean’s Welcome and Ice Cream Social, we talked about the unique role and value of joining professional organization(s). As a student, the cost of membership is small, yet the benefits substantial. Not only will you network with colleagues in the College, but as well with professionals whose rank you will be entering in the not-to-distant future.
It is not too late to join!
AIA NE Conference Keynote Speaker Jay Wilkinson cast a strong vision for the role of technology in our future – not to consume our time, but rather as a valuable and ubiquitous tool. How do you view and use technology?

Last week, 6th-year M.Arch students in the Design Thesis option held their first public presentation and review. This year’s projects include explorations of photography and film in architecture, the possibilities of post-digital representation, architectural approaches to Great Plains depopulation and other divergent and provocative topics. It looks like it will be a very interesting year for the Design Thesis students. The next reviews will be held on November 1, I encourage all to attend.

Game Day Reminder
For those of you not familiar with the university's pregame planning, football game days provide challenges in the security of buildings used for academic, research and business operations on City Campus. Many fans would like to use university facilities for breaks, restrooms or sightseeing. Some even see the possibility of accessing our buildings as an opportunity to steal computers, etc. Common practice is that all buildings near the stadium are locked about three to five hours before kickoff. We ask your help in keeping the buildings on City Campus, particularly those close to Memorial Stadium or along the main walkways to the stadium, locked and secured. Please avoid using the building in the hours before kickoff and help us keep unauthorized people out. Thank you,
Owen Yardley
Chief of Police
