li Environment and community - two things l passionately believe in protecting and enhancing. I strive to impart to students a deeper understanding of the people, cultures, and ecosystems that co-exist in the work of the environmental design profession. Responsibility and ethics-two qualities that are intrinsic in the work that design professionals undertake. I see in many of my students a desire to participate in the building of community, to improve the world in which we live, and to learn from each other and the accomplishments that together we are capable of achieving. Celebration - should be about making contributions to our community, cherishing our friendships, and having fun. II students who are building community, protecting the environment, and making responsible choices about alcohol.

Nick Van Exel sank a 21-foot jumper with 1.7 seconds left as the Nuggets completed a strong finish by defeating the Trail Blaz ers 96-95 Wednesday night. “This is great,” Van Exel said. “We’re so young, and we realize our potential at times, when we play the top teams. If we want to get to the next level, we’ve got to beat those types of teams.” Van Exel scored 22 points and hit four 3-pointers, and Antonio McDyess added 22 points to lead the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight and eighth in 13 games after a 1-11 stretch. Bonzi Wells scored nine of his 18 points in the final six minutes to lead the Blazers, but he missed a 23-foot jumper with five sec onds left that set up Van Exel’s winning shot. “Let the playoffs begin,” Brian Grant said, summing up the feel ings of the Blazers, who have been locked into the No. 3 seed for some time and will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.
