Communicating relevance and effectiveness is a skill you can learn and that will bode well for you whether you are presenting a project, telling a story or competing for new work or a position. While you are learning about the value of design and planning, regardless of which academic program you are in, you will need to learn how to effectively communicate that value in a way that others understand. Some call this “speaking their language” and in essence, you are translating the value as you understand it to be relevant to someone else who may or may not be in our professions. Think about it simply as the “what” and the “why” – what is the value you or your project brings, and why is it important?
I am eager to hear Friday's Hyde Lecture by Tamika L. Butler and hope you will join me at 4PM via ZOOM.

While the virus has challenged all of us at the university to just do the things we do, everyone is doing their best to keep our community together and keep moving forward in new and positive directions. The faculty and advising staff have enjoyed our new ‘Lunch on the Lawn’ sessions that allow a safely conducted opportunity for all the students in each cohort to get together in person. I am planning to continue these post COVID because they are a chance to find out a bit more about our students, and them to find out about each other. As a small program, it is much easier to hold and manage these events and make them meaningful to everyone, particularly when some if not all of our students are taking their classes online. More-

The project is an outgrowth of FACT’s spring 2018 project with the Sandhills Institute in nearby Rushville, Nebraska. The studio’s project partner, the Sheridan County 4H Foundation, seeks a master plan with new and repurposed buildings to replace disconnected existing structures in disrepair. The goal for phase one, completed in 2020, is to produce a detailed design proposal to assist the 4H Foundation in refining the project scope, forming a clear vision for the fairgrounds and producing materials to support fundraising and development. The fall 2019 student team comprises Ashley Glesinger, Paige Haskett, Jerry Philbin and Andres Villegas. FACT is currently working with Actual Architecture Co. to advance the project and assist the 4H Foundation in realizing the project.
