New Faculty: Hannah Oh
Meet a new addition to CBA’s roster of diverse, dynamic faculty.
This fall, the UNO College of Business Administration welcomed nine new full-time faculty members — one of the largest classes in college history.
Dr. Hannah Oh, Assistant Professor of Marketing
Ph.D., Marketing, University of California, Irvine
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, but raised in Korea, Hannah Oh has been all over the globe. She received her undergraduate degree in Washington D.C., master's in Seoul, Korea, and doctorate in Southern California. Next, she worked at the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley as a visiting assistant professor before coming to the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
It's no surprise that Oh says she enjoys traveling. "Whenever possible, I plan a trip and travel. I’ve been to most of the states in the U.S. and most of the countries in Europe."

Why did you decide to become a professor?
I always like to learn new things, and marketing is a perfect area that requires constant update in terms of learning about consumer trends, business knowledge, and skill. Being a professor can give me an opportunity to learn new things by interacting with students, doing my research, and interacting with the business community.
What are your research interests?
My research interests are corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability and especially sinful firms. I am interested in examining the factors affecting executives’ decisions to invest in CSR programs and the outcome of CSR initiatives.
What are your impressions so far of UNO and the College of Business Administration?
I like this metropolitan university because it gives all the members (students and faculty) great opportunity to work with the local community. CBA specifically is full of great opportunities, which I think are precious for business school students. Also, UNO and CBA seem to be very much people-oriented; they put great emphasis on students and also care about faculty development and excellence.
What's your favorite thing about teaching and working with college students?
I learn from them by interacting with them. Co-creation of class is my teaching philosophy. Not only for teaching but also for my research, I sometimes get useful insight from students.
