Facilities

Students in the J.D. Edwards Honors Program live in the Kauffman Center, in the heart of UNL’s city campus, across from Broyhill Fountain and the Nebraska Union. Through a gift from Carole and Ed McVaney in honor of her mother Esther Kauffman, this beautiful new building lets students live and learn in an environment that supports their vibrant academic community.

The Great Hall, meeting rooms and study rooms let students settle in for spur-of-the-moment study sessions, have workshops and presentations, find a quiet place to sit with a laptop and answer e-mail or finish a report, or watch a movie, have an Xbox 360 tournament or a latenight snack feast. Some classes are in Kauffman, but others are outside, across campus, giving a mix of convenience (run downstairs to a 7 a.m. meeting in sweats) and expansiveness (meet classmates at CBA, for business class, play Frisbee football in the Union greenspace, or head off to the Rec Center for pick-up basketball).

Classmates in the J.D. Edwards program quickly become friends, collaborators and teammates; with the same interests and desires to be leaders in the business and IT industry, the common bond.
