Olsson, a national engineering and design firm based in Lincoln, has pledged $1 million to establish an endowed chair for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering.
“Olsson and the Olsson Family Foundation, which is supported by the founder’s family, are vital partners in the success of the College of Engineering,” said Lance C. Pérez, Fred Hunzeker Dean of Engineering. “This gift will help us recruit and retain distinguished faculty who are committed to educating the next generation of engineers and who conduct research that drives economic development in the state and region while solving problems of global importance.”
