At this time, there is no similar formal process at UNMC for new faculty and key staff to give them the edge on being successful &#8212; I am honored to be included as the College of Pharmacy&#8217;s representative.&#8221;\n<li>Shannon Boerner, M.D., assistant professor of internal general medicine: &#8220;As an early career clinician-educator, I am part of a group that historically struggles to find mentors. However, I have benefited immensely from a capable, efficient peer mentoring group that I co-founded two years ago. I hope to bring my experiences and budding expertise to the committee and in turn to the campus.&#8221;\n<li>Darwin Brown, assistant professor of physician assistant education in the School of Allied Health Professions: &#8220;A few years ago I was asked by a new faculty member to be a mentor. I felt totally unprepared and didn&#8217;t believe I fit that role or could provide what the individual was seeking. I declined the request to help, and I have regretted that decision ever since. Until recently, UNMC has not offered much in the way of mentoring skills, and so when asked to participate, I thought, what better opportunity to develop skills in this area so vital to our academic community.&#8221;\n<li>Marlene Cohen, Ph.D., Morehead Endowed Chair of Nursing: &#8220;I owe whatever career successes I have to my early mentors, and have been so fortunate to have continued mentors throughout my career. . I feel very strongly that I need to pass along guidance and help now.&#8221;<\/ul>\n<p>Other committee members include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sheila Ellis, M.D., associate professor of anesthesiology.\n<li>Howard Fox, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and experimental neuroscience.\n<li>Lina Lander, Sc.D., associate professor of epidemiology.\n<li>William Johnson, D.D.S., professor of dentistry.<\/ul>\n<p>For more on the committee or mentoring, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/d.unmc.edu\/combined_in_sum.php?alpha=zetterman%2C%20rowen\">Rowen Zetterman,
