DEAN'S MESSAGE
Join me on Wednesday for a picnic and Dean’s Welcome! I look forward to sharing with you and introducing you to our student leaders, staff and faculty.

The design and planning professions have arguably never been more important and impactful – and the education you are currently engaged in will prepare you to enter the professions and make a difference in this world!

Congratulations to our faculty and students winning national awards (see below for details)!
Best regards,
Kathy
ADVISING CORNER
Math & Physics Help!

Did you know that both the Math Department and Physics Departments offer free tutoring through their Resource Centers? Leslie and I strongly suggest that you visit these resource rooms if you are feeling a little overwhelmed by Math or Physics. It is much better to start using the lab resources now, than later! 

The Math Resource Center is a free tutoring service and is the primary facility for undergrad students who have questions about any pre-calculus or calculus course offered at UNL. No appointments are necessary! See their website for hours:  http://www.math.unl.edu/resources/undergraduate/mrc

The Physics Resource Room offers assistance with introductory Physics courses (including PHYS 151!) during the fall and spring semesters. Graduate students provide tutoring and homework help. Check out their site for their hours:  http://www.unl.edu/physics/resource-room

Please remember, students in the College of Architecture must receive a grade of C or better to pass calculus. And architecture students must receive a grade of C or better to pass physics. (Interior design students using physics for their natural science elective must also pass physics with a C or better.)
On another topic, check out this computer resource link. It contains directions for things like installing printers, connecting to the server etc

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

However, there are three students who have taken a leap of faith and are spend the 2017-18 academic year working in some of the best firms across the country. The program has soft launched a year-long paid internship between the 3rd and 4th years where students have the opportunity to work in professional firms to learn first hand about professional practice and gain a year of work experience prior to graduation.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
The Community and Regional Planning “Hazard Mitigation Planning” class (CRPL 472/872) met on August 28th at the headquarters of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), located at the Joint Force Headquarters on the Nebraska National Guard base in Lincoln. NEMA is part of Nebraska’s Military Department and is charged by state statute to reduce the vulnerabilities of the people and communities of Nebraska from the damage, injury and loss of life and property resulting from natural, technological or man-made disasters and emergencies.
