Ways to Get Involved
We are seeking alumni to serve as class leaders to help us with the planning and promotion of class parties.
This is primarily a consulting role, but we look to class leaders to communicate with their classmates to help with the promotion of the reunion, while a member of the alumni relations office handles the logistical details.
If you are interested in learning more or volunteering, please email alumni@unmc.edu or call 402-559-4385.
Class parties are only possible with the help of class leaders.
