Math & Physics Help!
Did you know that both the Math Department and Physics Departments offer free tutoring through their Resource Centers? We strongly suggest that you visit these resource rooms if you are feeling a little overwhelmed by math or physics. It is much better to start using the lab resources now, than later!
The Math Resource Center is a free tutoring service and is the primary facility for undergrad students who have questions about any pre-calculus or calculus courses offered at UNL. No appointments are necessary! See
their website for hours.
The Physics Resource Room offers assistance with introductory physics courses (including PHYS 151!) during the fall and spring semesters. Graduate students provide tutoring and homework help. Check out
their site for hours.
Please remember, students in the College of Architecture must receive a grade of C or better to pass calculus. And architecture students must receive a grade of C or better to pass physics. (Interior design students using physics for their natural science elective must also pass physics with a C or better.)

SECURITY TIPS
At the College of Architecture we know what a wonderful a close-knit community we have here, but even in the best communities you should take precautions to protect your belongings. Secure your property in a cabinet that locks if possible and another great resource to protect your laptop is a security
cable.
Also, make sure your wallet, purse or valuables are not out in plain sight. A few precautions at the beginning of the semester can prepare you for a smoother academic year.

Purpose: The Student Success Office is here to help you find your purpose for pursuing higher education. Some of you might say “I don’t need help finding my purpose. I’m here because I want to be an architect, interior designer, landscape architect or planner.” But purpose is more than just the steps to a degree so you can have the job you want. Knowing your purpose can help you to decide on the type of experience you would like to have as a student on campus. What kinds of student organizations do you want to get involved in? What types of electives do you want to take during your time here? How do you want to spend your free time? Perhaps your purpose involves helping other people. In that case, you might get involved in volunteering or you might try to find electives that are built around the idea of helping others. Or maybe your purpose involves becoming an informed citizen and being more politically engaged. In that case, you might take some political science electives and get involved in some political organizations. This year’s Hyde Lecture series would also fit this purpose well. As academic advisors, we are here to help you find your purpose and get involved in courses and activities that will help feed that purpose.
Best wishes,
Jaime

Getting outside the classroom is an important and required part of the educational experience in the Landscape Architecture Program. Internships begin the transition to their professional careers and study abroad experiences broaden perspectives. This semester we have students returning from internships in locations that traverse the country and beyond. Our students worked in firms in a variety of locations such as Tampa, Florida; San Juan Capistrano, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Houston, Texas; with a collection in heartland locations in between. In the beyond category, we had one student work at Turenscape in Beijing, China.

We have two weeks of school under wraps, and by now I hope you have all settled back into your “student-life routine.” I hope to see many of you (fourth and third year interior design students specifically) at the Internship Lunch & Learn this Friday, September 13th from 11:30-1:00 in the Gallery.
Last week Interior Design Professor Mark Hinchman presented an entertaining and informative lecture titled “Battle of the Chairs: Victorians and Moderns in American Interior Design” at the Joslyn Art Museum. The lecture showcased many pieces being featured in the Joslyn’s “The Art of Seating: 200 Years of American Design” temporary exhibit. Hinchman, a published design historian, shared his expertise in material culture and design history to provide valuable insight on the design and materiality of chairs as they relate to societal and cultural norms of two different eras.
