COLLEGE NEWS
Sustainability on Wheels is coming to the College of Architecture this Wednesday, March 30th! The interactive event will be held from 11 AM to 1 PM in the Link area of Architecture Hall. Please note this has been a location change from the Gallery to the Link Area in Architecture Hall.

Developed by UNL’s Office of Sustainability and supported by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, this program provides an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to learn about sustainable practices and initiatives on campus.
At this event, attendees have the opportunity to meet and make connections with UNL campus partners who are sustainability experts in their respective fields. Campus partners will share information on their departments, how their departments contribute to a more sustainable campus and how faculty, students and staff can personally help support these sustainability initiatives in a casual, conversational manner. Attendees participating in the events have an option to sign a pledge committing to support sustainability initiatives. The pledges are varied across partners, so participants can select actions or habit changes that pertain to their interests. Attendees will also have the opportunity to earn giveaway items that will serve as a resource for them on their sustainability journey.

More details on the program can be found in an earlier article in Nebraska Today or by visiting the Sustainability on Wheels website.

If you had any questions about this event please contact the Office of Sustainability at sustainability@unl.edu.

Last Day to Withdraw from a Course
The advising staff would like to remind faculty and students that the last day to WITHDRAW from one or more full semester courses for spring 2022 is Friday, April 15.

A few things you should know about “Withdrawing” from a course include:

·NEVER withdraw from a course without checking with your advisor first.
·Be sure to discuss with Husker Hub the impact withdrawing will have on your scholarships and aid packages.

·Be sure to discuss with University Housing how withdrawing may impact your housing eligibility.
·If your full-time or part-time enrollment is verified to receive discounts on your medical/car insurance or your parents’ health and auto insurance, withdrawing from classes may affect your eligibility for continued discounts.

If you have questions about withdrawing from a course, please contact a member of our advising staff.
Mask Policy Update:
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Risk Dial has moved to green, and as the Chancellor indicated in his March 20 message to campus, all remaining requirements for face coverings in specific classroom settings have been lifted.

Changes to Classroom-Specific Face Covering Requirements
UNL’s Face Covering Policy no longer allows specific courses or sections of courses to have face covering requirements.

Instructors may continue to request face coverings, but it is not a requirement that students do so. Anyone, of course who wants to, may continue to wear a mask.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Just back from the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) annual conference, I am proud to note that the entire full-time faculty in Landscape Architecture was there making a strong showing for our program. I was there as the Region 4 Representative on the CELA Board of Directors. Yujia Wang was there to present a paper titled “A Three Layer Landscape Architectural Approach to Grounding the Green New Deal” featuring some of the work done in his recent third year studio. Salvador Lindquist was there to present two papers. The first “Spatial Justice: Design Agency in the production of Space” featuring work from his 410 studio and seminar course from last year. More-
COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
MCRP student assists healthy planning in Nebraska

In August 2021, Ruhma Khan joined our Master of Community and Regional Planning Program as well as started an internship with the Nebraska Health and Human Services – Office of Rural Health. Professor Yunwoo Nam provides daily mentorship for Khan’s project. Her major tasks include coordination with health program managers on compiling the data for designated shortage areas, financial impact and a number of participants under the different loan repayment and other incentive programs. She is further responsible for making/ updating the maps for the DHHS Dashboard and Rural Health Advisory Commission Annual Report. Assuring a quality health service for the wellbeing of families living in a community is one of the initiatives of community planning which is also the mission of the Rural Health Office. Her work contributes to the healthy planning in Nebraska.

STUDENT & FACULTY NEWS
"NEw Attainable House" Gets Positive Review

FACT's "the NEw Attainable House" exhibition has been reviewed in the Journal of Architectural Education. The positive review is available here.

In 2020, the FACT studio, mentored by Professor Jeffery L. Day, partnered with History Nebraska and six community development organizations to design and promote new approaches to the affordable home for communities in Nebraska.

The project was inspired by Evicted, a traveling exhibition highlighting the eviction crisis across America. To accompany the national narrative, Nebraska’s Housing Stories was created to highlight statewide, historic housing issues that often become less visible factors contributing to the eviction crisis. The NEw Attainable House joins this locally produced exhibition to propose Nebraska-based design solutions to the housing crisis.
