Engaging Alumni & Supporting UNMC

All UNMC graduates are members of the Alumni Association, a proud cohort of more than 50,000 healthcare professionals who are making a difference in the lives of their patients, profession, community, state, and beyond.

Through the association, graduates may:

  • Connect with each other, with students, and with UNMC.
  • Be involved in the institution that launched their careers through the investment of time, talent, and treasure.

Alumni have the opportunity to make the university stronger and to make a real difference for the next generation of health science students at UNMC.
