As a reminder, the five values of the College of Architecture are:
·         Demand Excellence

ARCHITECTURE
In learning how to design a building, students experience how to integrate an array of knowledge and skills, as well as collaborate with others. Architects are therefore often called generalists, but they do have an expertise that is unique to the profession, which I like to call “integrative know-how.” This key term loosely derives from the philosopher Martin Heidegger who wrote about different attitudes toward things in the world. Heidegger wrote about the integrative know-how of the sailor who knows how to read and interpret the changing waves in the ocean, the shifting stars in the night sky and the irregular edges of the coastline, in order to navigate their ships to safe passage.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
The quality of life for population groups in Nebraska communities that are generally viewed as vulnerable (i.e., racial and ethnic minorities) and dependent (i.e., children and elderly) have been the focus of a research team at UNL. Dr. Rodrigo Cantarero, associate professor of community and regional planning, is co-principal investigator on the team, whose research has been funded by the Nebraska Rural Futures Institute.
A recent article in Growing a Healthy Future magazine, published by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at UNL, reports on one aspect of the team’s research—the needs of rural ethnic minorities. More-
