\n<\/TABLE>This week, we learn more about Kristine Claussen, office associate in the College of Nursing-Lincoln Division.<\/p>\n

  • Name:<\/B> Kristine (Kris) Claussen
    \n
  • Hometown:<\/B> Lincoln
    \n
  • Number of years at UNMC:<\/B> 3.5<\/UL><\/p>\n

    What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?<\/B> <\/p>\n

    My best memory was when I received the “Silver U” recognition. It really meant a lot to me that faculty and staff appreciated me enough to nominate me for the award.<\/p>\n

    Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC. <\/B><\/p>\n

    Shortly after I began working at UNMC, we began preparing for the accreditation process — compiling information and then arranging it in a manner the accreditation team members would be able to access easily. Working as a team, we were able to get the job done.<\/p>\n

    List three things people may not know about you. <\/B>
    \n

    • I was a very shy farm girl who grew up in rural northeast Nebraska. I loved summers because I could be out working the farm with my dad!
      \n
    • I hold the 50-yard hurdle record at my high school. I qualified for the state track meet three times in high school and qualified for Junior Olympics twice running hurdles. At the Junior Olympics, I had the privilege of running next to Juanita Orduna. She was as talented as Joe Orduna — her brother who played professional football.
      \n
    • I have been married for nearly 35 years. My husband and I are crazy — along with working full-time jobs, we own two small businesses — a commercial cleaning business and a hair\/tanning salon. <\/UL><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
