Lookin’ at U – Cindy Plate

picture disc.Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”

Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee or student to feature.

This week, we feature Cindy Plate, pancreas cancer program coordinator and SPORE Administrator in the Eppley Institute.

Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Cindy:

Cindy Plate

  • I love movies. I go to as many sneak previews as I can. The Academy Awards are my Super Bowl — La Casa Pizza, no phone calls and the envelope, please!

  • I enjoy playing golf — with my Eppley Green Blazers teammates in the UNMC league, with family, friends, strangers. It’s a great game that you can play anywhere, anytime, with anyone. I’ve been playing for more than 20 years and am continually trying to improve my game.

  • I love to travel. The Amazing Race is my favorite TV show. It’s a perfect blend of travel, adventure and competition.

  • I’ve been married for more than 31 years and we have two children (Jason, 29 and Megan, 26) and a 4 ½ year-old granddaughter, Kira, who, of course, is the best ever!

  • In part due to Dr. Tony Hollingsworth, who encourages everyone around him to be physically active, I have recently started running and have (surprisingly) found it to be both enjoyable and rewarding.

Read UNMC Today next Thursday to see who is featured in the next Lookin’ at U article. Who knows — it could be U.
