FROM THE DEAN
What an incredible week we experienced last week! Claire Latane inspired us to action. Our Professional Advisory Council worked closely with us to listen, advise and initiate action. And, alumni, professors and friends from throughout these many 50 years of the London Study Abroad program gathered from around the world to celebrate and reconnect. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of connection and care; and particularly reminded me of three of our values –
Be Courageous, Look Beyond and Inspire Impact.

WELL-BEING
Over the past few weeks you’ve learned about PURPOSE and OWNERSHIP, and now it’s time to tackle WELL-BEING. At this point in the semester you’ve most likely established a routine with your classes and work schedule, but your well-being may be one area that gets pushed to the backburner when things get busy. Here in the Student Success Office, we want to make sure that you have the right information available to help you be the best version of yourself so that you can thrive in everything that you do. Check out this
link for some resources to support all areas of well-being.

Did you know that professional work experience is one of the three things you need to become a registered architect? The other two are an NAAB accredited degree, such as our M.Arch professional degree and successful completion of the licensing exam.
As outlined in the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) -- a program regulated by NCARB -- students pursuing the BSD in Architecture can begin recording their work experience right away. Some of this work experience is performed in an architecture firm, and others can be performed outside an architecture firm. This latter yields quite a range, including work experience at a community-based design collaborative, design competitions under a mentor, site visits with a mentor and construction work experience.

COMMUNITY & REGIONAL PLANNING
|
Students in two Community and Regional Planning courses continue their semester-long work with the village of Winslow, Nebraska, which was inundated with floodwater in the disastrous mid-March 2019 floods. Prior to the flood, Winslow was a small community of about 100 persons, located a few miles north of Fremont in Dodge County. Most of the flood-damaged houses and other structures in Winslow remain vacant today.
The two courses focusing on the difficult situation faced by Winslow residents are “Planning Studio” taught by Professor Gordon Scholz, and “Hazard Mitigation Planning” taught by Professor Zhenghong Tang and Lecturer Jeff Henson.
