Your Vision for Professional Development begins here with Re-Imagining U, the Employee Learning and Development Program for UNMC employees.
Re-Imagining U is a collaborative employee training and development program managed by the Human Resources office at UNMC. Program participants have the e opportunity to customize their learning and skill development in a way that is right for them. Re-Imagining U courses are offered repetitively over two semesters each year. Content is derived from needs indicated for employees and leaders in our current strategic vision and employee engagement surveys. Courses are either individual (meet once for 1-2 hours) or cohort format for deeper learning (4 meetings over four months for 1.5-2 hours each).
In addition to regularly appearing content, Re-Imagining U also features one-time speakers and topics. These include deeper discussions, trending leadership topics, and equity, diversity and inclusion learning. Based on results from our most recent Employee Engagement Survey, this year's RIU courses are tailored to focus on recognition, exciting work, education and career, leadership, and mental health. Additionally presentations emphasizing the subcategories employee engagement, and performance confidence will also be offered.
Please access the Bridge Learning Management System to register for courses.
Re-Imagining U has courses to meet the needs of every employee regardless of where they are in their development journey. They are offered in different levels to help you easily identify the right courses for you.
The course catalog can be found in the Learning Library on the Bridge registration platform. Registrations may be limited for some courses, but the majority of courses are open enrollment. Cohort courses do require attendance at all classes where all other classes are a one-time only meeting.
Courses in the catalog do not list room locations, we are currently a virtual/hybrid program. In the new registration system, you will receive a registration confirmation in Outlook. You will also find the Zoom information housed in the registration details in the Bridge Learning Library. Currently courses are online and/or online/in-person. Registrants will receive a Zoom link to view the course accompanied by two reminders.
Reviewing your development goals and plans with your leader is always a great idea. At a minimum, in order to ensure adequate coverage of business needs, be sure your manager approves your attendance prior to registering.

UNMC Employees Parking at UNO: Most courses at UNO are in the Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center and typically we have spots reserved in Lots D & E right in front of the CEC for parking. Sometimes, large events prohibit parking there. When that is the case, the attendant will let you know and point you to where your parking options are. Just let the attendant know you are attending a Re-Imagining U course.
If the course is at Milo Bail Student Center, please refer to the map below, you may park in the UNO lots marked Y or Z on the north side of Dodge Street. Please ensure that you display your UNMC parking permit. Courses held in Milo Bail Student Center do not have access to the Community Engagement Center Parking lots D & E. Afternoons in the East Parking Garage are typically open parking as well. For any specific parking questions, please reach out to
The Office of Training and Development uses the UNMC Employee Engagement Survey to tailor training and development content for these courses.
To find out more information about the different assessments featured in some of our training courses, please contact your campus representative.

Q: I want my whole department to go through the course together, is that an option?
A: Please contact Giovanni Jones. We do have some content that can be shared that way and others that would require hiring one of our facilitators just like we do when we hold the course. We are happy to discuss options with you.
Q: Are Re-Imagining U classes open to students and the public?
A: Re-Imagining U is a professional development benefit offered to UNMC staff and faculty. These courses are not part of our student offerings. We commonly get requests for students, external partners, residents and Nebraska Medicine employees. Call Giovanni to get them the course details and find out about availability.
