For those new to our community, welcome to Nebraska; you have made a wonderful, life-changing choice! For those returning, welcome back to campus – we have missed you! This is going to be an exciting year, filled with complexity, opportunity, challenge and I hope a load of fun! This fall, we begin our 50th year as the College of Architecture, and on May 17, 2024, we will celebrate our 50th graduating class of the College of Architecture. I hope this whole year will carry a sense of celebration of our past and a fearless launch into our shared future. Throughout the year, we aim to create opportunities to engage with our past, and I hope that connections with our 4,600+ person alumni network will be available to all. We also have the opportunity and obligation to dream and create our aspirational future together, and I hope each of you will find a way to help inspire and cultivate that dream together.
As we launch into this academic year, I want to underscore the value of student-to-student learning and the importance of creating a community in realizing our aspirations. It is not a stretch to say that more than half of the learning you will gain in your time on campus will be from other students. That takes nothing away from our exceptional faculty; rather, it is meant to emphasize the value that each of you brings as fellow students to our collective community. To reach our greatest potential, we need your individual engagement, and you need to know that your lived experience and contribution have unique value that will help our whole community thrive. So, what does that look like? Connection. Connect with fellow students, share your ideas, be generous with your time. I urge you to unchain any fear or reservation you may have about your perceived worthiness or sense of value. Please trust that you have much to share and offer, and that we need you! Our community is built through the shared spaces and time invested in each other. Each interaction matters, and each human person brings essential value. Let’s dream big and create that future together.
See you tonight at the welcome back social! Please note the social has now been moved inside to the Gallery and Link due to the heat.

| I trust you had a relaxing and much-needed summer break. As we return to UNL and our in-process addition to the north side of Architecture Hall, I hope you will bring your summer experiences to reflect on your assignments and projects this semester. Additionally, I look forward to learning from you in the months ahead with great anticipation of celebrating our graduating seniors and M.Arch candidates in May 2024. This academic year, the program is excited to host the 2023-24 Hyde Chairs of Excellence, Nicole McIntosh and Jonathan Louie from Architecture Office. They will teach a graduate studio and seminar course each semester this coming year. Please join me in welcoming them to our school. At the beginning of each semester, I also extend my appreciation to the Lecture(T) faculty teaching in the Architecture Program. This semester, our Lecture/T faculty include Pedro Aguero; Emily Andersen, DeOld Andersen;, Bruce Carpenter, HDR; Geoff DeOld, DeOld Andersen; Jonathan Fliege, Leo A. Daly; Nate Gieselman, RDG; Darin Hanigan, DLR; Jeff Thiele, Olsson Associates; Zeb Lund, BVH; Jeff Monzu, Leo A. Daly; Tom Trenolone, HDR; Doug Peters, Leo A. Daly; Kat Pinkering, BVH; Samah Al Sarhani, BVH; Vanessa Schutte, DLR; Adam Wiese, RDG; and Tim Williams, HDR. These faculty come from award-winning architectural practices and bring a depth of expertise to their courses, which elevates the entire program. I look forward to seeing everyone on campus and in Architecture Hall. Have a great week and start to your semester. -David Karle | The academic year 2023-2024 is underway! I anticipate a new year and fresh opportunities to learn with our students, partners and colleagues. We'll explore crucial topics and issues through a creative, forward-thinking and empathetic lens. Significant changes are taking place, including new construction to our north, Arch Hall Phase 2 addition, and to the south, which provides our college with front-row seats to observe and learn about the execution and management of imaginative design proposals becoming reality. While the construction phase brings some "growing pains," I hope it acts as a consistent source of inspiration, motivating you to define goals and establish priorities for your growth and focus as a design student this year. Ultimately, as designers, we shape the setting for human interaction and envision spaces that best represent our relationship with a particular place and time. Each day you step into your classroom and studios, you have the chance to engage in this endeavor! More- | |
