The University of Nebraska-Lincoln on June 13, 2008 changed the name of the J.D. Edwards Honors Program in Computer Science and Management to the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management.

Raikes, a Nebraska native, recently announced his retirement as president of Microsoft Corp.'s Business Division after 27 years with the company. He is CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He has served on the board of the Raikes School since its inception, and he initially helped conceptualize the school to be responsive to the demands of the business community, and has mentored many of its students.

The school has for seven years provided a world-class program to develop entrepreneurial leadership for the information technology industry by providing a unique blended curriculum of computer science and business management.
