Faculty, staff and campus and community leaders gathered Tuesday afternoon at a farewell tea for outgoing UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D.<\/p>\n

James Armitage, M.D., talked about the lives Dr. Maurer had saved as a scientist.<\/p>\n

Michael Sorrell, M.D., talked about Dr. Maurer’s vision for UNMC.<\/p>\n

And Dr. Maurer himself spoke about the “great run,” he and his wife, Beverly enjoyed at UNMC.<\/p>\n

See the video of Dr. Maurer’s remarks in Friday’s UNMC Today.<\/b><\/p>\n

“It was really a pleasure to come to work every day,” he told the crowd, “because there were exciting things happening, and there were a lot of wonderful people who had exciting ideas here at the medical center.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Maurer said he was proud of the transformation of the medical center over the years, which started, he added, before he was chancellor. <\/p>\n

“This is a group operation,” he said, citing the “talented faculty, talented staff, who made this all come true. <\/p>\n

“It’s the growing expertise every single day — whether in the operating room, the clinic, dentistry, nursing — every single day we make a significant difference with very talented and skilled people,” he said.<\/p>\n

When Dr. Armitage addressed the crowd, he lauded Dr. Maurer’s work as a pediatric oncologist battling rhabdomyosarcoma, an often-fatal cancer that afflicted children.<\/p>\n

“There are a whole bunch of children that are now grown up that are alive because of Hal’s scientific accomplishments,” he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sorrell, who gave Dr. Maurer’s installation address when he became chancellor in 1998, spoke of the chancellor’s leadership.<\/p>\n

“He outlined a vision and he followed through with it,” he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Maurer’s final day at UNMC is Friday. He will begin working at the University of Nebraska Foundation next week.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
