- [00:00:00.280]My name is Kim Wilson.
- [00:00:01.837]I am a landscape architect and the director
- [00:00:04.035]of the Landscape Architectural program in the college
- [00:00:06.541]for Architecture.
- [00:00:07.821]It's a privilege to become a RFI Fellow.
- [00:00:10.787]I was part of the team that developed the RFI.
- [00:00:16.099]And so I understand it intimately.
- [00:00:18.584]I believe in it wholeheartedly.
- [00:00:20.706]And it's in my blood, it's who I am.
- [00:00:24.920]It represents my philosophical approach
- [00:00:28.035]to teaching and learning
- [00:00:29.345]and my philosophical approach as a faculty member
- [00:00:32.035]at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
- [00:00:34.083]I've worked with probably anywhere between
- [00:00:36.888]10 and 12 communities in the last seven years.
- [00:00:40.611]And each community is different.
- [00:00:42.136]The people are great.
- [00:00:43.149]And what we've done is we've looked at
- [00:00:45.411]urban design, waterfront design,
- [00:00:47.371]sustainable green infrastructure
- [00:00:49.560]where students apply their skills and knowledge
- [00:00:51.949]to first analyze the community,
- [00:00:54.019]work with the community to address needs
- [00:00:56.195]and then develop initiatives that hopefully
- [00:00:59.213]impact the community in the long-term.
- [00:01:01.176]You know, I believe the RFI can be a leader
- [00:01:04.739]in the university in terms of engagement.
- [00:01:08.621]That's our focus.
- [00:01:10.039]And I think that what they can do is connect
- [00:01:12.461]the resources of the university
- [00:01:14.541]with the communities across Nebraska.
- [00:01:16.853]Being one of the first
- [00:01:20.069]group of fellows
- [00:01:21.411]I think that we can build a foundation for
- [00:01:24.088]what the fellows mean in terms of supporting
- [00:01:27.501]the long-term success of the Rural Futures Institute.
