MUNCIE, Ind.--Stanley Lowe, vice president of the Community
Revitalization at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will
share his secrets of reviving ailing neighborhoods during his Nov. 4
lecture at Ball State University.

The free presentation, part of the College of Architecture and
Planning’s 2002-03 guest lecture series, will start at 8 p.m. in the
Architecture Building, room 100. Lowe’s presentation will focus on his
successful efforts to stimulate historic and culturally diverse
neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, a project in which he’s dedicated more
than 25 years of his life.

The National Trust is a nonprofit organization chartered by Congress to
encourage preservation of America's historic places and revitalization
of communities.

Lowe splits his time between directing the National Trust’s community
revitalization programs and overseeing preservation programs at the
Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. The foundation protects
and restores architectural and historically significant buildings,
structures and landscapes and has been one of the nation’s most
effective preservation organization in working in inner-city
neighborhoods and with minorities in efforts to restore urban
neighborhoods.

Away from Pittsburgh, he has been a guest lecturer at Columbia,
Rutgers, and Carnegie Mellon universities and a consultant to numerous
preservation and community-based organizations throughout the country.
