Nebraska to Confer Record Number of Business Degrees

Class Features Highest Number of Chancellor's Scholars in College's Recent History
Nebraska to Confer Record Number of Business Degrees
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Business confers more than 700 degrees to students this weekend at commencement ceremonies held at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and Memorial Stadium, May 19-20. Chancellor Ronnie Green will deliver both the graduate and undergraduate commencement ceremony keynote addresses before he retires this June.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln prepares to graduate the record-breaking class of 2023, with more than 3,600 degrees to be conferred on Friday, May 19 for graduate and professional degrees at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and Saturday, May 20 for undergraduates at Memorial Stadium. The College of Business class includes 741 graduates, including 19 undergraduates named as Chancellor’s Scholars for earning an A in all of their collegiate courses. The 19 scholars represent the largest group achieving this honor for the business school in recent history.

“I am thrilled to congratulate each and every graduate and celebrate all the class of 2023 accomplished during their time at the College of Business. The Nebraska Business community is proud of all they achieved. As alumni, we know they will continue to drive discovery, create opportunity and lead the future of business,” said Kathy Farrell, James Jr. and Susan Stuart Endowed Dean and professor of finance.

From winning top places at national, regional and local competitions to making an impact through student organizations and courses, soon-to-be graduates made their time at the College of Business matter. As an international student, Jermaine Yin Mun Kaw, marketing major from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, found a community of support in Howard L. Hawks Hall.

“Coming from Malaysia and being in the state of Nebraska alone taught me a lot about myself, and I've grown so much being at Nebraska. The resources the College of Business provided me helped tremendously in my journey,” she said. “The best thing about being a Husker is the range of supportive communities that you can find and the resources the university offers. Being a student here has been an amazing experience, and I believe that Nebraska has given me a plethora of great opportunities that have maximized my time here.”

To cap off the end of his time at Nebraska, Chancellor Ronnie Green, who retires at the end of June, will deliver the keynote address for both the graduate and undergraduate commencement ceremonies.

During the undergraduate ceremony, JoAnn Martin, ’75, former CEO of Ameritas and longtime university supporter, will posthumously receive the 2023 Nebraska Builder Award. Martin earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of Business with high distinction in 1975 before beginning her professional career at Touche Ross and Company and later joined Ameritas, then known as Bankers Life Nebraska, in 1984. She started as an audit division manager and rose through the company, serving in various leadership roles before being elected CEO in 2009. Under her leadership, Ameritas experienced significant growth in its assets and customer base, and she was known for her innovative leadership, strategic vision and commitment to excellence.

“JoAnn was a great leader – in business and the community. Her time as a student at Nebraska served as a preview of a life lived with intention and a focus on community building. For example, she was a charter member and the first president of the university's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, an honorary society for accounting students. She also passed the CPA exam by the age of 20, a feat seldom achieved by others that young,” said Farrell.

Even after they turn their tassels and revel in all their hard-earned success, seniors like Danika Schultes looks forward to all that comes after earning your degree and what it means to be a Husker.

“Graduating from Nebraska is only the start of opportunities yet to come. I am now part of a group of prestigious individuals who graduated from a highly respected university. Achieving this honor is proof of my dedication and motivation in not only my academics but also in my personal and professional life. Nebraska has successfully prepared me for opportunities in my future,” said Schultes, an agribusiness and accounting major from Creston, Iowa.

The undergraduate and graduate and professional degree ceremonies will be streamed here and broadcast live on Spectrum channel 1303, Allo channel 23 and Kinetic channel 1080.
