Passion. Energy. Commitment.<\/p>\n

Put those three qualities together, and great things can be accomplished. <\/p>\n

The qualities describe to a T what Beverly Maurer means to UNMC. <\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>The wife of Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D., UNMC’s first lady is driven to take the medical center to the next level. <\/p>\n

Although the combined dynamics of Team Maurer is unparalleled, there also is no doubt that Beverly has carved out her own niche in the community. <\/p>\n

She wears many hats — fundraiser, event planner, liaison with students, faculty recruiter and community volunteer.<\/p>\n

“I’m a firm believer that UNMC has to have a presence,” she said. “We have to be out there. We need to go the extra mile.”<\/p>\n

Typically, going the extra mile can mean as many as four evening events and three lunch events in the same week. <\/p>\n

\nThe Maurers received special recognition in 2008 when it was announced at a groundbreaking ceremony that the College of Public Health’s new building would be named the Harold M. and Beverly Maurer Center for Public Health. Participants in the groundbreaking from left-right included Dr. Maurer, Beverly Maurer, Gov. Dave Heineman and Omaha philanthropists Bill and Ruth Scott.<\/span>

\n<\/TR>
\n<\/TABLE>She has her finger in many pies — Joslyn Museum, Holland Performing Arts Center, Ronald McDonald House and the Durham Museum just to name a few.<\/p>\n

She loves “planting a seed and watching it take hold.” For instance, when UNMC’s research climate was being threatened by outside groups, she helped form a pro-research group that has flourished over the past decade. <\/p>\n

The Brooklyn, N.Y. native spent 25 years in elementary school education in Richmond, Va. before coming to Omaha in 1994. She was a school principal her last 17 years in Richmond. <\/p>\n

“I came to Omaha with a work mentality. I couldn’t wait to plunge in and get involved,” she said. “Harold and I have a passion for people. We thoroughly enjoy being with them.”<\/p>\n

After 16 years in Omaha, the Maurers have fallen in love with Nebraska’s largest city. <\/p>\n

“Omaha is a very welcoming, supportive community,” Beverly said. “People see all the growth that is happening at UNMC, and they are eager to be a part of a winning team.<\/p>\n

“People ask if we’ll eventually move to Florida to be with our children and grandchildren, I tell them, ‘Omaha is home. We’re not going any place.'”<\/p>\n

The Maurers celebrated their 50th anniversary earlier this year. They obviously have a rock solid relationship.<\/p>\n

“I can be his worst critic,” Beverly said. “I appreciate that he listens to what I say and values my opinion. It’s been a fun ride. <\/p>\n

“We love being ambassadors for UNMC … being able to work with a supportive community to try to make a difference.”<\/p>\n
