To commemorate the past 80 years of growth and achievement, the UNMC Office of Graduate Studies and McGoogan Health Sciences Library partnered to produce a new exhibit within the Wigton Heritage Center.
The exhibit is titled, “UNMC Graduate Studies: Helping Students Succeed for 80 Years, 1942-2022.” It located near the Bennett/Sorrell/Wittson Hall skywalks on Level 4 of Wittson Hall.
Accompanying the physical installations is an online exhibit.
Graduate students are key contributors to the research that is done at UNMC every day.
Since 1942, UNMC Graduate Studies has focused on training graduate students through exceptional health science educational and research programs, faculty mentoring and professional skills development. Masters, doctoral and certificate programs are administered by individual colleges but housed under UNMC Graduate Studies.
Graduate students’ energy propels discoveries that change and save lives, whether through helping faculty design clinical trials for new vaccines, discovering new ways to repurpose existing medications or by developing new diagnostic tools and therapies for cancer treatments.
The work of graduate students in research is very important. It is critical to the science moving forward. Outside of the lab, most people are unaware of their significant contributions to the success of the research process. They don’t get the recognition they deserve.
