One entry is accepted per person, and one ticket will be given out to selected recipients while supplies last. Recipients must be UNMC employees or students. Regular tickets are required for other guests to attend, and UNMC employees with annual zoo passes are encouraged to attend for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests are encouraged to wear UNMC gear for the day at the zoo, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and snap a photo to share the experience with UNMC Campus Engagement. UNMC guests can meet at the entrance near the Desert Dome at 1 p.m. for a group photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC Campus Engagement is here to help students and staff connect, collaborate and grow, Dr. Strong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCampus Engagement fosters a campus culture where every individual feels valued and connected,\u201d Dr. Strong said. \u201cThrough welcoming engagement, strategic collaboration and thoughtful programming, the team strengthens campus engagement \u2013 and supports UNMC\u2019s mission of education, research and care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore ways to get
