A huge thank you to the members of the Professional Advisory Council for their presence and participation in our Fall 2022 meeting last Thursday and Friday. Members traveled from locations near and far (Denver, Albuquerque, Chicago, New York City, Dallas, Omaha, and Lincoln, just to name a few) to advise, engage, and interact with our College of Architecture community. Their input and commitment is valuable and greatly appreciated.

This Friday, October 28, we have two additional significant events in the College of Architecture. First is our Open House which we will be hosting at Architecture Hall. You will see many students and their parents touring the building and engaging in various activities throughout the complex. When you see these visiting potential students, do reach out with a smile or a friendly hello to make them feel welcome. We have much to be proud of here and one shining example of our culture is our friendly, close-knit community.

Later in the day we will have our first Kunzendorf and Hyde co-hosted Lecture of the season. Christopher Martin will be presenting his lecture entitled “Design Tangents; A Story of Exploration and Common Threads” at 4 p.m., October 28, in the City Union Swanson Auditorium. Martin is founder of Christopher Martin Furniture and works as a furniture designer/ maker on commission work and produces a line of small batch furniture pieces for sale online. He also collaborates with traditional artisans in Ghana and India.

I’ll be there, I hope you will too!

Study Abroad Meeting

The College of Architecture will be holding our Education Abroad informational meeting on MONDAY, November 14^th from Noon-1:00 p.m. in the Architecture Hall Gallery. If you are interested in participating in one of our education abroad opportunities in the 2023 summer, 2023 fall or spring 2024, please be certain to attend. There will be a sign-up sheet circulating at the meeting. The lineup will include Barcelona, Paris, London, Rome and Hannover.

Spring 2023 Class Registration

Spring advising season is here! Priority registration for the spring pre session and regular spring semester begins TODAY – Monday, October 24. If you have not done so already, please make an advising appointment to meet with your assigned academic advisor.

Academic Advising Appointments Reminder

Please remember that if you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment with your advisor to either cancel the appointment in MyPlan or to email your advisor to let them know, so that other students may take advantage of that appointment time slot. This is especially important as we are advising for priority registration right now and advising appointment time slots are being taken up quickly.

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 fall 2022 is Friday, November 11.

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 Scholarships and Financial Aid 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 stop in and see a member of our advising staff.

INTERIOR DESIGN

We are over half-way through the fall semester, and while we have some of the most important deadlines and events on the horizon, we are also looking toward spring registration. I thought I would get key dates for you to note for the remaining weeks of fall, and provide some information about course offerings for the spring.

Upcoming events you should mark your calendars for include:

On Friday, October 28 the Interior Design Program is hosting Professor Christopher Martin who will be giving a lecture on furniture design from 4-5pm in the Union’s Swanson Auditorium. More-

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

The majority of student-faculty interfaces take place in our studios and classrooms, but the faculty also spends time on research, which influences the way we approach teaching and frames the way we individually operate within our disciplines. I would like to take a moment to share some of my ongoing research. This past summer, I received a grant to participate as a research fellow in the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) Case Study Investigation (CSI) program to measure the landscape performance of the Dequindre Cut Greenway in Detroit. The CSI program is a unique research collaboration and training program for faculty, students and practitioners to develop methods to quantify the environmental, social and economic benefits of built projects to produce case study briefs. Final case studies undergo a peer review process and are published in the Landscape Performance Series. More-
