Dean's Message,

Welcome to those of you who are new to Architecture Hall and welcome back to our returning students! We are eager to begin the new year with you and have high expectations for your learning and engagement. I encourage you to develop excellent habits that will enhance your learning from the very first day of the academic year. Advantage yourself of the opportunities afforded throughout the year, by saying "yes" to them and being involved. The professions you are entering have such high potential to affect people's lives for the better, and through acquiring knowledge and developing wisdom in application, you will make a difference!

Best,

Kathy

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Welcome back Landscape Architecture program students and faculty! It is with great anticipation that I look out across this academic year. Faculty have been working diligently on developing course content, interesting project briefs, as well as field trips and jurors. Guest lectures and graphic workshops have been planned and designed to enhance the program’s teaching and learning activities. And the UNL – ASLA Student Chapter is actively planning a fundraiser, kayak trip and participation in the Great Plains – ASLA Conference. We are planning internships, education abroad, UCARE, independent studies and so much more. I expect we all will learn and grow lots this year. Have a wonderful and productive semester.
