UNMC Academic Affairs has welcomed two new team members who will be working to serve UNMC faculty, students and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis Zgud joined in January 2025 as senior communications and media manager and will be leading marketing efforts across all UNMC Academic Affairs departments and units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabby Jensen came on board in September 2024 as the administrative associate supporting Jane Meza, PhD, interim vice chancellor for Academic Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zgud came to UNMC from First Five Nebraska, a statewide early childhood and maternal\/infant health public policy organization. She has previous experience executing communication strategies across a variety of sectors, from agriculture to tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Nebraska native from Kearney, Zgud has a master\u2019s degree in integrated media communications and bachelor of journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In her spare time, she moonlights as a pub trivia host, licensed cottage baker and volunteer lasagna maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Winter Park, Florida, Jensen moved to Omaha in 2021 and joined the UNMC Department of Dermatology. Jensen has a bachelor\u2019s degree in hospitality management from the University of Central Florida. She is pursuing her MBA while balancing a career and family life as a mom of two. In her downtime and when the Nebraska weather allows, Jensen enjoys hitting the golf course and gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope the campus will extend Alexis and Gabby a warm welcome,\u201d Dr. Meza said. \u201cWe are thrilled to have them on board and look forward to the contributions they will make to UNMC Academic Affairs and the UNMC community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
