Math & Physics Help!
Did you know that both the math and physics department offer free tutoring through their Resource Centers? Our advising team strongly suggests 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 course 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 their 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.)
Writing Center Help!
At the Writing Center, both undergraduate and graduate writing consultants work with writers at all levels, from all disciplines, at all stages of the writing process. All members of the UNL community (students, faculty and staff) are welcome. The Writing Center states: “Whether you are brainstorming or organizing ideas or polishing a final draft, we look forward to discussing your writing with you. All forms of communication are welcome, from essays, lab reports, research papers and journal articles to presentations, cover letters, personal statements and theses/dissertations.” Check out their site to schedule an appointment.

A Message from ASLA Student Chapter President & Program Director
Hello everyone!
We have only been in classes for four weeks but so much has already happened! The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) had a table set up at the Dean’s Ice Cream Social and got to see so many new as well as familiar faces within the college. Our first meeting on September 1 st had a great showing with students from every year of the Landscape Architecture Program joining as well as students in architecture. It was definitely a great way to kick of the school year! More-

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING |
The faculty and students of the Community and Regional Planning Program participated in the Nebraska Planning and Zoning Association Conference in Kearney, Nebraska, last week. Dean Kathy Ankerson participated in the conference and met with the planners, elected officials, organization leaders, industrial partners and alumni from Nebraska and nationwide.
Associate Professor Yunwoo Nam led a session for “Planning for Sustainable Landfills” and Professor Zhenghong Tang organized a session named “Promoting Resilience in Planning.” Four UNL students also presented at the conference: Anna Headlee - healthy community planning, Nabhan Al Hajrib - community survey for economic development planning, Kelechi Chibuikem - culture district planning, and Ligang Zhang - environmental conservation planning. Dean Ankerson also made an annual update of college development efforts for the students, alumni and stakeholders. This event was organized by the Emerging Planners Group, which is comprised of individuals passionate about the next 50 years of planning in Nebraska.

PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE TIPS |
Get in the habit of observing closely during presentations or reviews and make a note of something a peer has brought forward that is particularly innovative or noteworthy (perhaps it is sensitive to the end-users, or a creative use of material, or they have taken an uncommon risk on their work, etc.), or perhaps the story-telling of their presentation was compelling. Text or email that classmate and let them know what you noticed. This positive reinforcement builds strong and trusting relationships, and hopefully you will be the recipient of these messages as well as the sender! |
Will Dendinger’s (Class of ’21) Graduate Thesis, advised by Associate Professor Peter Olshavsky, was exhibited at the Zaha Hadid designed Roca Gallery in London, England.
His work on Queer space in Chicago was part of a pop-up show titled, “Designing Out,” which showcased LGBTQIA+ talent. It was among 26 projects on display from 20 universities and 13 countries.
Professor Jeffrey L. Day appears live on RFD-TV to talk about partnerships with rural communities where student projects range from designing community art spaces to fairgrounds. To learn more: https://youtu.be/CU8BLrrvbys
