What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

As a student, I loved the fun class activities used by the instructors to assist in our learning. As an instructor, I love to hear back from previous students about things they learned in my classes that made a difference in their lives.

Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

As a student, I witnessed commitment to excellence and felt the faculty truly cared about our education and that they wanted us to succeed in nursing. Now that I’m a faculty member, I see that the campus is very good at working together, supporting each other and trying new things to improve students’ academic experiences.
