Following up on the success of the Career Fair, co-organized by architecture faculty Craig Babe and Brian Kelly, I want to share a few Alumni success stories from the region, nation and globe.
Dan Williamson received his Master of Architecture degree in 2013 and is currently the computational design lead at HDR, Minneapolis. Williamson states, “I wake up to explore and inspire productive change in the world around me every day. I am a husband, son, brother, dog dad, homeowner/renovator, designer and nerd. At HDR, I lead and support a group of talented entrepreneurial thinkers, innovators and developers bent on enhancing design and the human experience throughout the built environment. We build processes, tools and ideas. We seek problems and deliver solutions. We like change. A good day is filled with fresh coffee, dirty hands, an exhausted mind, inspiring company and a warm hug.”

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
|
Hello! I’m Dr. Yunwoo Nam, and I’m one of the many foot soldiers working to create great communities that enhance health, safety, quality of life and economic well-being of all people through planning!
Currently, I am conducting research on housing and community development planning, the built environment and healthy communities, local economic development and geo-spatial information science and technology. With the research I am pursuing, I’m working to change the social and built environments to promote vibrant, safe and healthy communities. How a community is designed has a direct effect on safety, physical and social activities and quality of life.

University of Nebraska Wins the Big Ten Student Design Challenge
Over 30 submissions received but only one university team would come home with the honor of first place at the 2019 Big Ten Student Design Challenge! After making it to the finals and surviving the rigor of a two-day charrette, The Groundbreakers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln edged out the competition from Ohio State University and the University of Wisconsin. Nebraska students Eliza Woodside, third-year interior design major; Ariana Osten, third-year interior design major; Weston Ellerbrake, third-year architecture major; and Daniel Kruger, accounting and finance double major, presented their design concept for a new lounge on the second floor of Knoll Residence Hall, creating a comfortable and functional study area and living space.
The new lounge will be built over the next year with funds from the Big Ten Academic Alliance to renovate the space and furniture donated by Herman Miller.
Congratulations to The Groundbreakers!
