UNMC’s Deborah Hawkins will be retiring after 25 years of service to administrative operations in research, and a retirement tea will be held Monday, March 30 to celebrate her career.
The event will run from 2-3:30 p.m. in the TRIAD Center, located on the Eppley Science Hall’s sixth floor.
Throughout her time at UNMC, Hawkins has supported countless colleagues, strengthened both the administrative operations for the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases and the UNMC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. Her colleagues said she leaves a legacy of professionalism, dedication and kindness.
In 2001, Hawkins joined UNMC’s Eppley Institute as the human resources associate. In 2007, she moved to the UNMC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, where she was promoted from office associate II to administrative associate in 2009 and to administrative and business operations associate in 2021.
Hawkins said she looks forward to traveling, spending time with her grandchildren, working in her yard and enjoying new home projects. She also will continue teaching fitness classes at the Blair YMCA.
The UNMC community is invited to attend the retirement tea to wish her well in retirement.
