The UNMC Alumni Association, along with the UNMC Campus Wellness Program, led by Steve Wengel, MD '86, '90, created this mini-series. These short videos are meant to provide viewers with a daily dose of positivity, perhaps laughter, helpful insight for life or just a pleasant time-out from the daily norm, all while showcasing the talents of faculty, staff, students, fellow colleagues, and alumni.
