Hsa news sPring 2014 03

dear alumni, colleagues and friends of the Hsa,

we proudly present you issue 01 of HSAnews!

our trial issue 00, published last June 2013, has

been very well received and appreciated as a

much needed vehicle of communication between

the school and its “extended family.” such encouragement, as well as the

continuing great news about the success and the accomplishments of our

alumni, gave us the right stimulus to expand and improve our newsletter

even more.

in the past year (and in the forthcoming months) you have noticed (and will

notice) a clear effort by the school to become more and more “glocal”—

that is both global and local. striving to engage the wider world and the

local community has always been in the dna of “druryarchitecture,” and

appropriately aligned with the core mission of drury university. now we

want to take that tradition to the next level.

you will read in the following pages of the new initiatives launched in china,

of the student exchange program for study abroad with the world-renowned

etsaB in Barcelona, spain, and of the new Visiting Professor of Practice

Program that brought and will bring to campus international, up-and-

coming and award-winning professionals.

you will also read about our on-going efforts with communities around

missouri, through the community studies center, with the community in

Joplin, through the design/Build Program, and with the city of springfield

itself, through the art of space program. you will read also about the

forthcoming “Hsa and the city” initiative, which will see our school collaborate

closely in 2014–15 with the city of springfield by focusing our student work on

issues, challenges, and potentials for the future of our community.

Being “glocal” is not meant to attach a fashionable cliché to the Hsa. more

than for other programs, it is vital for us. an emphasis on being “global” would

disconnect the school from the surrounding community that we ultimately

serve, while an emphasis on being “local” would impose on ourselves a too-

limited scope of inquiry and action. instead, maintaining a double-focus will

help keep us firmly aimed towards an ever-stronger future for the Hsa.

finally, i want to thank all the alumni, students, and faculty for the great

work and news provided. a special thank you goes to our graphic designer

frank norton, and particularly to our editor, Prof. robert weddle, for an

outstanding job in putting together the first issue of HSAnews!
