Welcome to the College of Business and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
As an alum of UNK and now Dean of this incredible college, I am honored to lead a community that has been central to my personal and professional journey. The College of Business and Technology is a place of learning, transformation, innovation, and purpose. After eight years serving as a faculty member and associate dean, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the heart, talent, and commitment that make this college exceptional.
This year, our theme is Building Momentum by Celebrating, Aligning, and Envisioning, which I believe truly captures where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are headed.
We are celebrating the extraordinary success of our students, faculty, and staff. Many of our programs proudly boast 100% job placement rates. Our enrollment has steadily increased over the past five years, a testament to the relevance of our programs and the strength of our student experience. Each year, we award over $500,000 in scholarships, helping open doors for future leaders and innovators. We’re proud to offer state-of-the-art classrooms and labs and a Career Closet that give our students the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
We are aligning our efforts across disciplines and departments with new and existing partnerships, both on campus and in our communities. Whether it’s through innovative teaching, applied research, industry collaboration, or community engagement, we are focused on making meaningful impact in our region and across Nebraska.
And we are envisioning a bold, purpose-driven future. Our faculty and staff are committed to preparing students not only for their first job, but for lifelong leadership, learning, and service. We are reimagining the future of business, industry, and technology with integrity, vision, and a deep sense of responsibility to all our stakeholders.
As a third-generation professor, I believe deeply in the power of education to change lives. It’s an honor to serve a college that lives out that belief every day. I invite you to explore our programs, visit our campus, meet our students and faculty, and be a part of our momentum and success.
Thank you for your interest in the College of Business and Technology. We are very proud of where we’ve been, inspired by where we are now, and even more excited about where we’re going.
Warm regards,
