Dean's Message
Welcome to those of you who are new to Architecture Hall and welcome back to our returning students! There are many opportunities within the college to be involved and engaged, including attending exceptional speakers and guests events, serving on the Student Advisory Council, or becoming a member in one of our many student organizations. We are eager to begin the new year with you, have high expectations for your learning and engagement and have developed resources just for you.
From the first day of classes until the end of the semester, I encourage you to develop and practice excellent habits that will enhance your learning and effectiveness. Reduce distraction and increase focus. Stay healthy. Advantage yourself of the opportunities afforded throughout the year, by saying "yes" to them and being involved. Each of our professions 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

Welcome back to the 2018-2019 school year! I hope that each of you had a great summer and are looking forward to a productive, enriching and fun fall semester.
We are welcoming a new class of 27 second year interior design students this fall. I urge the third and fourth year interior design students to welcome and help mentor them in their transition from a pre-design student to an official professional interior design student. As you know, the fall semester ramps up experiences in discipline specific knowledge relative to history/theory, structural fundamentals, materiality and of course studio interior design fundamentals.

Welcome to everyone. It is always an exciting time when everyone returns to campus with stories about the experiences of the recent past and anticipation of continuing their journey at UNL. The faculty have been busy with their research and creative activity and students with travel and internship experiences. You can expect all this interesting work will be making its way into the classroom, as we seek to locate our learning community in the middle of the positive evolution of the field.
