She discovered a love of working with students and has been actively recruiting students for UNMC since 2000, when she became director of the office of student equity and multicultural affairs. She was named to her present position in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>A staunch supporter of diversity, Dr. McNamee was principal investigator or co-investigator on several grants that funded medical education programs at UNMC for graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented areas. The Summer Medical and Dental Education Program and the Summer Undergraduate Research Program exposed disadvantaged and rural students from across the U.S. to basic science.<\/p>\n<p>She also has worked to help disadvantaged graduate students obtain funding for research and has been known to help foreign students furnish their apartments.<\/p>\n<p>A retirement tea will be held in her honor on Wednesday, June 26, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the student lounge on the second floor of the Student Life Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A retirement tea honoring
