This week is the final push before final reviews. Often this time of year can be very stressful for students. However, I would encourage you to take the time to destress, relax and recharge when possible so you can finish strong next week. As a start to our Build-up Week, our Student Advisory Board has been busy assembling treats to be delivered to studios on Monday and Tuesday. Enjoy the treats, take care of yourselves, and I look forward to seeing all your hard work and plans come to fruition.
Best,
Sharon Kuska

Contributing to your community is one of the most important things a citizen can do. The Landscape Architecture Program has been engaged in service projects for many years now in response to this charge. The ideas generated in our design studios help people visualize what could be. Whether it is work with community groups envisioning a refresh to a community park, collaborative explorations for new additions to a state park or consideration for trails working for the National Park Service, these activities contribute creative energy for the greater good. These real-world abstract activities connect our students to challenges facing communities. However, when it comes to giving back, sometimes the contribution of more tangible actions is also in order. This week, a group of volunteer ASLA students in the program, working with the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department, were able to get their hands in the earth planting at the new daylily garden next to the Children’s Zoo. Having received some instruction on soil enhancement, proper planting instructions for the shrubs, grasses and flowers and insight into how plants succeed or fail, from Parks Department staff, the digging began. We value our partnership with the Lincoln Parks Department and look forward to continuing this effort in the future. -Mark Hoistad |
COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING |
Yunwoo Nam, associate professor of community and regional planning, attended the Urban Affairs Association (UAA) annual conference in Washington DC, April 11-15. Nam presented his research on spatial dynamics of neighborhood outcomes in place-based contexts. His research addressed spatial variations of neighborhood inequalities in an urban area and analyzed the interconnectedness among placed based social capital, civic participation, environmental features and neighborhood safety, using
Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial statistical models. The research utilized objective measures of neighborhoods’ social outcomes newly developed for city-wide and street level analysis. -Yunwoo Nam
