90 NEBRASKA BUSINESS • 1919–2009 College of Business Administration–University of Nebraska–Lincoln John E. Anderson Dean, College of Business Administration Baird Family Professor of Economics Seacrest Scholar

The College of Business Administration is celebrating its 90th year as a premier and highly regarded business college. The College is a founding member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which is the premier accrediting association for business and accounting schools. Both the College and the School of Accountancy have been continually accredited. The College was also a founding member of the MBA Roundtable, dedicated to advancing best practices in the design and delivery of graduate business programs.

Our rich College heritage is an integral component of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, chartered in 1869, as an educational institution of international stature. Nebraska is recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral/Research Extensive university and was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU) in1909. Founded in 1900, AAU is an association of 62 leading public and private research institutions in the United States and Canada.

Today, the college offers a both sound academic experience and valuable real world experiences for its students. The quality of our academic training is reflected in the most recent scores from the national assessment test for graduating seniors from over 500 institutions, which showed that 95% of our graduating seniors scored above the national average and 22% of our students scored at or above the 95th percentile. In the most recent ranking of business programs by BusinessWeek magazine, the college ranked in the top ten of three of the twelve academic specialty areas: macroeconomics, business law, and quantitative methods. Among our graduating seniors in the fall of 2008, 40% had internships, 92% said their studies had helped them develop analytic skills, 82% reported improved leadership skills, 94% recorded improved teamwork skills, and 88% said their awareness of ethics was enhanced.

As you read this commemorative issue of Nebraska Business: 1919-2009, you will be impressed by the current activities ongoing in the College, but I encourage you to look carefully at the timeline across the bottom of the pages and recognize the rich heritage we have in the College. As stewards of this heritage we want to uphold the ideals of those who preceded us and advance the reputation of the College to new heights as we make our own contributions to excellence. Without the support of alumni and friends we would be unable to attain these new levels of excellence. Thank you for your continued support.

Herbie Husker accompanied Dr. Donna Dudney’s class, “Investing the Buffett Way” to Omaha on a cold day in November. The students began the day at Nebraska Furniture Mart, then visited Berkshire Hathaway headquarters for a two hour Q & A. Following lunch with the Oracle, the students presented him with bridge cards with his image on the back and photos of his alma mater, the University of Nebraska, on the face.

The visit was featured on Fox News in a program called “Buffett U” hosted by Liz Claman.
