Meeting Date: September 26
 
 
I-35W Bridge Collapse
I-35W Bridge Before its Failure Presented by:
Patrick Nunnally
U of MN Professor		 I-35W Bridge after Collapse
When the I-35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River on August 1, 2007, reverberations echoed across the country and around the world. As the largest university on the Mississippi, and with its campus in close proximity to the site of the collapse, the University of Minnesota has a unique opportunity and responsibility to provide a reflective, considered response to this event that addresses our multiple audiences/constituents, whether they be community members, faculty and staff, or students.
About the Speaker: Patrick Nunnally is a cultural historian and planner whose research, teaching, and consulting practice center on the connections between people and the places they value. "My way of understanding the landscape is to see it as an artifact of the culture that created it," he explains. Nunnally introduces students to this way of perceiving the landscape through his class, Learning from the Landscape. In this course, Nunnally helps students understand why the landscape around us looks the way it does and what that reveals about us... View his entire biography.
