Past names included the Doctor\u2019s Wives Club and the UNMC Faculty Wives Club. Most recently, it was known as the UNMC Faculty Women\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reflect the growing campus and its faculty, the members of the UNMC Faculty Women\u2019s Club established the new UNMC Faculty Club name, which took effect in September. Eligible members include all UNMC faculty, executive administrators and their spouses or partners, Dr. Berger said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to announce the UNMC Faculty Club as our new name,\u201d Dr. Berger said. \u201cThe name has changed but not the focus. The faculty club continues to promote social engagement at UNMC through events, luncheons with speakers and special interest groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The faculty club will offer service opportunities, she said, and members will raise funds to support scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students across UNMC programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1920, a group of women came together to support the activities of what was then known as the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. Dr. Berger said the founding members were primarily spouses of medical educators on campus, including names well known in UNMC history, such as Poynter, Holyoke and Conkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Berger said the club\u2019s goal this year is to honor its past 105 years while embracing the future. Her focus as president will be on renewal and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UNMC Faculty Club\u2019s mission statement concludes with the words: \u201cTo work zealously for the advancement of the Medical Center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis continues to guide us today,\u201d Dr. Berger said. \u201cUNMC needs the faculty club, and the faculty club needs UNMC \u2014 now and in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch UNMC Today or check in the faculty commons for future announcements about upcoming opportunities to engage with the club.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a
