Several proud UNMC alumni and friends gathered for lunch at the Hilton Omaha and then walked next door to Qwest Center to cheer on the Nebraska mens basketball team during an overtime upset of the Oregon Ducks on Dec. 15. The Ducks were the 16th ranked team in the country at the time of the game — which the Cornhuskers won 88-79 in front of 12,109 fans. Below are some photos of UNMC alumns enjoying the day’s festivities.

Alumni Reunion Weekend Update
September 17, 2007 on 2:03 pm | Reunion | No CommentsThe University of Nebraska Medical Center Alumni Reunion Weekend is right around the corner. Send in your registration soon as late fees begin after September 21, 2007.
If you can only make it to part of the reunion weekend, plan to attend the gala on Saturday October 6, 2007. The grand ballroom at the Omaha Hilton Hotel will be the setting. A video production with photos of the campus and stories from alumni will play during dinner, and Chuck Penington will provide the musical entertainment. After dinner there will be a dessert reception. If the Nebraska vs. Missouri football game is being televised that evening, we will have the game on the big screens in the ballroom.
If you are interested in knowing who from your class is attending the reunion, give the UNMC Alumni Office a call, send us an email, or visit our website at www.unmc.edu/alumni.

September 7, 2007 on 2:10 pm | Reunion | No CommentsGreetings classmates!
The reunion weekend — October 5-6 — is quickly approaching. I am hoping to see many of my classmates for this exciting and new all alumni weekend.
We are planning to meet Friday night (October 5) for a casual get together at a classmate’s house — yet to be determined. C’mon Marilyn say yes. 
We want to continue our tradition of the every 5 year class newsletter. Please submit your letter to alumni@unmc.edu or mail them to my attention at the UNMC Alumni Office at 985200 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5200.
I’m feeling lonely as I am the only person who has registered for the weekend’s events. If there is one event you can attend during the weekend, attend the Saturday night celebration dinner at the Omaha Hilton Hotel. We will sit together as a class and look at the college’s history through alumni memories, video, and musical entertainment. It will be a great event!
See you in October!

The breakfast will feature remarks from the deans of the four units — Virginia Tilden, D.N.Sc., College of Nursing; John Gollan, M.D., Ph.D., College of Medicine; Courtney Fletcher, Pharm.D., and Clarence Ueda, Pharm.D., Ph.D., College of Pharmacy; and Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., School of Allied Health Professions.
The remainder of the day on Oct. 5 will include a variety of presentations and tours highlighting UNMC, a luncheon for alumni, friends and faculty, and an internal medicine grand rounds presentation about tetracyclines and their therapeutic implications for dental and medical diseases. The grand rounds presentation will be made by Lorne Golub, D.M.D., State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Throughout the afternoon, alums will be able to tour the UNMC College of Nursing History Museum or visit the Alumni Hospitality Room on third floor of Wittson Hall.
The first day will be capped off with alumni receptions and college open houses and individual classes will host their own reunion events.
On Oct. 6, the day begins with a champagne brunch at the Hilton Omaha Hotel hosted by the University of Nebraska Foundation. Nick Taylor, J.D., an attorney, will discuss some of the tax advantages available to individuals interested in philanthropic giving.
Other highlights of the second day will include an alumni reception at the Joslyn Art Museum. Charles Guildner, M.D., College of Medicine Class of 1957, will be exhibiting his black and white photographs, “Lives of Tradition.” Alumni also can enjoy a cruise down the Missouri River on the River City Star Riverboat.
The evening culminates with a reception and dinner at the Hilton Omaha Hotel. UNMC alumni and friends are invited to celebrate friendships and reminisce. The Saturday Gala will be a spectacular evening filled with entertainment and a special program comprised of memories. Depending on the time of the game, alums could come together for a party to watch the Nebraska vs. Missouri football game.
“We’ve pulled together an outstanding committee, alumni volunteers, class coordinators and campus representatives to help plan events and encourage a great turnout from alumni of all the colleges,” Cuda said. “We’re optimistic that we will have between 400 and 500 alumni and guests at the weekend events. We are counting on alums to spread the word and rally behind this new format of bringing our alums together at the same time.”
Cuda said that the Class of 1957 (including alumni from the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy) will be this year’s special 50th anniversary class. She said any alums who graduated 50 or more years ago will receive a special Half Century Club alumni lapel pin if they attend this year’s reunion.

Alumni Reunion to bring together several colleges
September 6, 2007 on 4:55 pm | Reunion | No Comments|
From UNMC Today, Tom O’Connor, UNMC public affairs One Class — World Class. That’s the catchy theme for this year’s UNMC Alumni Reunion Celebration on Oct. 5 and 6 in Omaha. For the first time ever, the reunion will bring together alums from three different UNMC colleges — medicine, nursing and pharmacy — as well as the School of Allied Health Professions. Previously, each unit held its own separate reunion. “We’re excited to bring all these alumni together at the same time,” said Kim Cuda, director of alumni relations. “The various health professions have always interacted with each other and worked together to resolve health care issues. It just makes perfect sense to pool our resources and have one large reunion rather than several smaller ones. “We think it’s going to be a great way to unite the campus and increase the camaraderie between all our alums.” Cuda said the theme of the reunion ties in nicely with the No. 1 goal of UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. — to make UNMC a world-class academic health science center. “There is so much happening at UNMC right now,” Cuda said. “We have two major construction projects really starting to take shape. A new College of Public Health has been created. I think our alumni will be energized when they see how UNMC really is on a path to gain world-class status. Omaha also has changed dramatically. Alums who haven’t been back for awhile will hardly recognize the community.” |
