Spring Fling on the Plaza set for today

Remember to head over to UNMC’s Spring Fling on the Student Plaza today during the lunch hours.

What: In appreciation for the vital work and commitment shown by UNMC faculty, staff and students, the campus community is invited to a noontime jazz performance led by Omaha jazz legend Joe Genovesi. The hour-long performance is being brought to UNMC by The Durham Museum.

UNMC employees and students also may:

  • Bring their lunch or purchase hot dogs, chips and soda from a hot dog vendor, who will be on site from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.;
  • Enjoy appreciation cookies, which will be distributed free while they last by UNMC’s Human Resources and Public Relations staff;
  • Purchase the latest UNMC apparel and merchandise from the UNMC Bookstore, which will be on site from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There is discounted pricing on select UNMC T-shirts, polos, hoodies, key chains and drinkware (receive a free coupon to the bookstore with your Spirit Sale purchase);
  • Purchase discounted tickets to two upcoming Omaha Playhouse shows — “Steel Magnolias” on May 1 and “Tuesdays with Morrie” on May 12; and
  • Visit the C-store inside the Sorrell Center for all-day appreciation deals: $1 for all bottled soda or purchase a large coffee/cappuccino for the price of a small. Register, too, to win a free month of parking.

In the case of inclement weather, the performance will be in the Sorrell Center Room 2014. The bookstore and hot dog vendor will be available near the second floor commons area.
