Dean's Message:
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Marsha Maytum, FAIA who delivered the final lecture of the 2017 AIA Omaha Lecture Series. As one of the lead sponsors of the AIA COTE Top Ten for Student Competition this year, she brought my attention to the incredible opportunities for students and faculty. Check it out here. A collaborative competition between AIA COTE, ACSA and Architecture 2030, winning students are offered a paid summer internship at firms doing leading work in sustainable design. Faculty receive an award as well. Thank you to alumni Ross Miller, who keeps the College of Architecture top of mind in exposing visiting professionals to the exceptional students in our College!

Best,
Kathy

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
INTERIOR DESIGN
With only five weeks left in the semester, the Interior Design program’s faculty and students have been pushing hard and working steadfast toward completing great projects and studying for upcoming exams. The weather is changing, semester break is on the horizon, goals are established…which means it is time to stay focused and prioritize your “academic self” to push beyond your expectations of what you can accomplish and learn! I look forward to seeing the results of your hard-work in the upcoming weeks. Do not underestimate the value of quality mental breaks and remember to be supportive peers and good “studio citizens.” More-
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Landscape architect Sandra Youssef Clinton presented a Lunch & Learn entitled “Designing Landscapes, From the Ground Up” to students and faculty. Clinton used her extensive plant knowledge and a painterly approach to create “exuberant gardens that highlight the seasonal rhythms of the landscape and nature.” As she explained, her designs are inspired by natural landscapes worldwide and are sustainable based on her expertise in the environmental sciences. This opportunity was created by partnering with Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Clinton gave the 2017 Joseph and Dorothy Young Memorial Lecture Friday evening to a full house!
