UNMC\u2019s Step-Up Omaha interns graduated from their summer job experience earlier this month with praise from UNMC leaders for their growth and an appeal to consider UNMC in their futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, seven interns at UNMC participated in the initiative organized annually by the Empowerment Network and the City of Omaha. The UNMC interns worked in human resources, the chancellor\u2019s office, academic affairs, dermatology, orthopedic surgery and hospital medicine, along with the Munroe-Meyer Institute and Global Center for Health Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a welcome message played during the Aug. 4 graduation ceremony at the Wigton Heritage Center, UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, said he hoped the interns received invaluable insight into the culture and people that make UNMC a great place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Gloden Carlson, JD, UNMC\u2019s assistant vice chancellor and director for human resources, told the group that they made a difference on the campus this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope you come back,\u201d she said. \u201cWe absolutely hope you come back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Evelyn Grixby, who helps to facilitate the program with UNMC Human Resources, \u201cWe want them to go away understanding UNMC is a premier employer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grixby called the intern class \u201cthe cream of the crop\u201d \u2013 and said each of the interns brought a unique personality to the group and have shown growth over the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graduation ceremony had the theme: \u201cBelieving, achieving, succeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf they can believe in themselves, overcome self-doubt, have the confidence to take action and work hard to get things done, the achievement is inevitable,\u201d Grixby said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intern Marcus Sherrod, who spoke at the ceremony, said the program is helping him take a step by wanting something more within himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m progressing to something else,\u201d he said, \u201csomething more ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
