Serendipitously, he met with Dillard University Provost Bettye Parker-Smith, Ph.D., who raised the possibility of developing an affiliation agreement with UNMC. Petite's supervisor, John McClain, Ph.D., associate vice chancellor for academic affairs at UNMC, agreed it was a wonderful opportunity. So did other UNMC administrators.  On Tuesday, Dr. McClain and Petite watched as Dillard University President Michael Lomax, Ph.D., and UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D., formalized the agreement during a signing ceremony in Omaha. The historic signing -- which follows a December signing ceremony at Dillard University -- marks UNMC's first formal affiliation with an historically black college.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DillardPetiteMaurerLomaxWEB.jpg"}
