The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has received a $2 million gift from alumni Kit Schmoker and her late husband, Dick Schmoker, for an endowed faculty chair in systems engineering in the College of Engineering.
The Catherine and Richard C. Schmoker Presidential Chair in Systems Engineering was established at the University of Nebraska Foundation to create an endowed fund that will permanently support a faculty leadership position. It will allow the university to recruit an accomplished expert to lead the academic and research initiatives of a systems engineering program. In this role, the Schmoker Presidential Chair will recruit additional systems engineering faculty.
