It is sometimes tempting to take life for granted and forget all we have to be thankful for. We get caught up in how much we have to do, the number of deadlines, or how hard we work.
Let's be thankful for the opportunities we have to develop and to make the world better (whether for one individual or for our global community). Thankful for being at a university, especially one who cares so deeply for its students, staff, faculty and alumni. Thankful for those around us who push us to be better, to be more insightful, to take action, to exercise consideration for others.
Many times, where we are now is the result of the sacrifices of others, whether it be from our families and friends, or those whom we haven't even met, who may have been influenced by their educational experience or felt the impact it had on a loved one that they were moved to support a scholarship. Sometimes it is the thoughtfulness of food sent home with you from family, or the emotional support on a phone call that makes a difference.
For this Thanksgiving holiday, I ask you to take a few moments and reflect on thankfulness. I ask you to give the gift of letting those who have made a positive impact on you (in whatever manner) know you are thankful for them. I thank you for making our community in the College of Architecture the place we each continue to learn and grow.

Like many of you, I for one am looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. It always seems to come just at the right time, when I need to “unplug” and connect with myself and family. It allows me to regroup and return to campus with a renewed focus and energy for the last remaining weeks of the semester as deadlines and high expectations rapidly converge.

Congratulations to our students, Rachel McCown and Danny Ortega, and their professor, Mark Bacon! Their fourth-year, integrated-studio project, “Searching for the Ineffable,” garnered a Merit Award for excellence in the emerging architects’ unbuilt architecture category from AIA Nebraska. I would also like to extend my appreciation to David Karle and Mark Bacon for initiating and organizing the SGH + DRI-Design Student Competition, which has clearly made a positive effect on our students’ capacity to garner regional and national attention. The jury was impressed by Rachel and Danny’s use of strong perspectives to capture the moving qualities of a sacred space for gathering and remembrance, as well as “the restrained material palette and unexpected arrangement of space, both in plan and section.”

As we are approaching the Thanksgiving Holiday it is a time to be thankful. Last week we had the opportunity to have a lunchtime presentation from Bridget Shim from Shim–Sutcliffe Architects in Toronto. She introduced a range of design considerations that inform and influence the work of her firm. Light as an important media to be expressed, materials and materiality, the influences of place, an interest in making, were illustrated in her firm’s work. It was refreshing to hear about how sites were so instrumental in the development of the firm’s designs.
