Director's Letter

Dear Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Friends:

Vitality is the word at UNMC and your Alumni Office is on the move with building vital staff, partnerships and activities to promote our UNMC colleges and programs. Here are some of the exciting things we’ve been doing lately:

  • In the spring of 2009, the Alumni Relations Office moved into the beautiful Omaha Woman’s Club mansion. This facility provides an elegant venue for alumni meetings and activities and is available to rent for alumni and for private events. 
  • We signed an agreement with the University of Nebraska Foundation that will help us connect with our alumni across Nebraska and the world.
  • In January 2010, the UNMC Alumni Association became a 501-c-3 umbrella organization for all the Alumni Chapters.  There are now a total of nine chapters under this umbrella - Clinical Laboratory Science, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Physician Assistant, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Radiation Science Technology Education. 
  • In the last two years, three new chapters were born, including: Public Health, Clinical Laboratory Science and Radiation Science Technology Education. 
  • Get ready for the 2012 UNMC Alumni Weekend to celebrate the classes that graduated in the ’2 and ’7 years.  In 2012, the reunion will be held September 7-8. 

    I would love to hear your ideas to improve our work.  Please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail with your ideas!

    Sincerely,
    Roxanna Jokela signature
