Business Week (B-Week) is a one-week celebration of the College of Business and its community. Held September 17-22, this student-coordinated event connects students, faculty, staff, alumni and business professionals in a collaborative effort to realize current successes, celebrate past accomplishments and anticipate future endeavors. B-Week is sponsored by Union Pacific and the College of Business and coordinated by the Nebraska Business Student Advisory Board.
This year's theme, “New Building. Same Tradition.”, acknowledges our community’s excitement to be in the new Howard L.
