  • Name:<\/B> Penni Davis
    \n
  • Hometown:<\/B> Davenport, Iowa
    \n
  • No. of years at UNMC:<\/B> 12<\/UL><\/p>\n

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

    I find working with summer undergraduate research students through the INBRE and SURP programs the most wonderful part of my job. They come from many different backgrounds and schools, they are fun and interesting and to see them become excited about the opportunities in research they can have in their future is inspiring. I’ve learned a lot from them. <\/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

    I see leadership, a commitment to excellence and working together, every day in Dr. James Turpen. Working with so many administrators, faculty and students from across Nebraska and other states, he exhibits true leadership, fairness and understanding.<\/p>\n

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

    • I’ve been married to my best friend, Sean for 28 years and we have two children, Kaila and Nathaniel and two beautiful granddaughters, Victoria and Vivian.
      \n
    • I love books and movies and even attended the Academy Awards!
      \n
    • I come from a military family, of which I’m very proud. In fact, I lead the military support group at my church.<\/UL><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
