DEAN'S MESSAGE
Social and spatial equity.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
Graduate students in Dr. Dan Piatkowski’s capstone studio in the MCRP Program this semester are studying various aspects of the Lincoln South Beltway project in Lincoln. The Lincoln South Beltway project is an eleven-mile, east-west freeway, connecting Nebraska Highway 2 on the east to US Highway 77 (Homestead Expressway) on the west. The Beltway is to be constructed roughly one-half mile south of Saltillo Road. The purpose of the Lincoln South Beltway is to improve east-west connectivity for regional and interstate travel through Nebraska and to reduce conflicts between local and through traffic, including heavy truck traffic, in Lincoln.

TAU SIGMA DELTA
Welcome to a brave new semester. As a college we will face refreshed challenges in the form of new classes and studios. To aid in these efforts, Tau Sigma Delta is excited to announce the re-launch of the ASK Help Desk.
The ASK help desk exists to help students realize their designs. ASK has assembled a panel of tutors who have skills ranging from digital modeling to presentation ability. The new ASK Help Desk format will directly match a volunteer tutor to a student in need of help. Tutors and students will set up a time and place to meet that is convenient for both.
 
For more information about the ASK Help Desk and the subjects it covers, please see the attached poster. If you need help from the ASK help desk, please email your question to:
