Dedicated October 24, 2014
The dedication featured guests from industry, government, and academia. Faculty and students provided technology demonstrations and presented their research projects.
This state-of-the-art research facility was funded by a gift from Jack and Stephanie Koraleski, who have dedicated decades of service to the city of Omaha.
A CBA alumnus (BSBA 1972, MBA 1981), Jack is a member of the college's national advisory board and enjoyed a 43-year career at Union Pacific, serving as executive chairman and chief executive officer, among other positions. Stephanie is a cancer center psychologist. They are pictured with former CBA Dean Louis Pol below.
“A behavioral lab of this size and complexity differentiates the UNO College of Business Administration from other universities in a significant way. We benchmarked 22 behavioral labs in business schools and were able to build one that offers our researchers and collaborators a combination of the cutting edge technology that is just not found at any other school in the nation. This unique resource will allow faculty to be on the forefront of leadership, influence, decision making, and other applied behavioral research.”
