We are pleased to announce that our Omaha Spring 2023 events raised $64,000 for the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) College of Business (CBA). $40,000 was contributed to the Dean Emeritus Louis Pol Student Scholarship Fund; $20,000 for UNO CBA Student Scholarships and $4,000 GOB (Genius of Buffett) Investment Fund.
The GOB Investment Fund established in 2014 (to make investments in stocks recommended by enrolled Executive MBA students and participants of the Genius of Buffett Course) will soon make its first annual distribution of 4.25 percent. With a current market value of $140,000, the first annual payment (due to commence 10 years after our initial funding) to UNO CBA will be approximately $6,000. Distributions are unrestricted and at the discretion of the current CBA Dean, however the initial intention of the primary funding sponsors is for the funds to be reinvested in the UNO Executive Management Education Department.
