We made it! Well, we are almost there anyway! Students, good luck on your final exams and finishing out any remaining work for your studios and other courses. Faculty and staff, good luck with all the deadlines! As for me, it has been a pleasure to learn together this semester – thank you! It has been an intense semester for me learning the story of this place, and I suspect the same is true for you as we continue to build our shared story each semester, each year. What a privilege we share while teaching and learning at the University of Nebraska. What a privilege and responsibility we have within the College of Architecture to lead the transformation that is needed within our built environment. As one faculty member shared with me, we teach, research and practice as scales “from hand to land”. As I said before, society needs us to lead and succeed. On Friday we celebrate all of your hard work and success, and then we set our sights on next year.
Make it a great week!

Congratulations to all on completing another academic year! When we reflect on all that we have accomplished as a community of students, faculty and staff we most certainly deserve a “high five.” It is my hope that each student is embarking on their next chapter (whether it be a relaxing summer break, an internship or their first day as a design professional) with greater confidence in their abilities as a designer and clearer motivation to continue to learn and apply your knowledge and methods you have acquired because you understand the potential and importance of beautiful, inspiring, safe, inclusive and effective interior built environments.
I want to send a loud and proud round of applause and expression of gratitude to our graduating class of 2023! You have had a unique and unprecedented college experience due to the disruption of COVID-19 which began the spring semester of d.ONE. You were patient and stayed curious and optimistic despite having to adapt to remote learning, de-densified occupancy in classrooms, masks and limitations in our ability to engage in experiential learning opportunities. Despite the challenges you faced in those first two formative years; you each demonstrated resilience, patience and the ability to continue to learn in shifting and fluid environments. Your portfolios and the projects you presented during the past two-weeks from your capstone studio, show your talent, passion, creativity and curiosity as designers. YOU SHOULD FEEL VERY PROUD! I hope each of you graduate knowing with certainty that because of your unique experience these past four years - you have skills and a mindset different than any other graduating class. I am certain that because of your experiences, you will be shaping the future practice of design in important and meaningful ways, and I look forward to witnessing it.

Another successful year is coming to an end, but it never really ends in your professional journey. You are on a path that has no end. There will always be new things to learn, new projects to develop, new goals to be achieved. Curiosity and the will to make a better world are the aspects of life that drive one on this endless journey. This is the quest we hope all of you will pursue as some of you graduate and others continue your education with us in the coming year. For those of you graduating, best wishes and good luck on the next leg of your journey. Please keep in touch. We all enjoy hearing about your successes and look forward to the day when you return to share the lessons you have learned. For those continuing with us again next year, make the most out of your summer. Reflect on what you have done and pursue your summer activities with an eye toward preparing for the next steps in your career.
I suppose one can see my retirement at the end of the semester as a kind of graduation. I am looking forward to this period and plan to continue my lifelong journey, not leaving anything behind, but rather continuing to build on what I have learned in the past. Just as your next steps should be exciting ones for you, my next steps are sure to be exciting for me. By the way, be sure to have some fun along the way. I know I have. Congratulations to everyone on the completion of a successful year! - Mark Hoistad
