This event, sponsored by the chancellor\u2019s office, is part of UNMC\u2019s ongoing commitment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the individuals who make UNMC so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, said: \u201cOur employees are the heart of our community, and I want to thank all our faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter your role \u2014 whether you&#8217;re caring for patients, training the next generation of health care providers, performing lifesaving research, keeping our operations running smoothly behind the scenes or leading initiatives that drive our mission forward \u2014 you make a difference every single day. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate all that you do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Employee Appreciation Day is traditionally observed on the first Friday of March each year. However, due to venue availability, UNMC will celebrate one day early to recognize employees\u2019 outstanding contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday is all about recognizing the people who make UNMC a great place to work. We are grateful for the dedication of our faculty and staff, whose efforts keep us moving forward,\u201d said Linda Cunningham, interim executive director of human resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attendees can expect boxed sandwich lunches from Jason\u2019s Deli, giveaways, a popcorn station, 360-degree photo booth, an interactive fire simulator and an opportunity to sign an employee banner that will be hung up in the Durham Research Center commons after the event. Giveaways, food and drinks will be available while supplies last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees will be asked to badge in at the event and should bring their UNMC employee ID badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees at off-site campuses will receive separate event details soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For questions about the event, contact <a href=\"mailto:amanda.rasco@unmc.edu?subject=Employee%20Appreciation%20Event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amanda Rasco<\/a>, benefits manager.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"p Zm \">p Zm <\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giveaways, food, drinks and fun all will be at the Truhlsen Events Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":118534,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"21283,69181,39425,118430,55337,55591","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3238],"class_list":["post-120066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-chancellor","topic-unmc-community","department-human-resources","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines","author_override-unmc-human-resources"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;You Are a Star&#039;
