“Renee’s contributions to UNMC have been immeasurable,” Bartee said. “From her leadership of PR in the branding initiative to creating the government relations office and turning it into a powerful entity that gave campus investigators access to new avenues of funding and support, Renee has been a tireless champion for UNMC. <\/p>\n

“She has positively affected more lives than she will ever know and we wholeheartedly wish her luck on her future endeavor.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
