Abstract

The last few years represent a period of substantial growth for the City of Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Omaha as well. A moment's reflection reveals that the growth of the City and the University are interdependent. The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for understanding some of these relationships--particularly the economic relationships that exist between the campus and the community.
