Gold, M.D., making his first trip to China as chancellor of UNMC earlier this year, it was a night to remember.  <\/p>\n<p><b>To see a slideshow of images from the trip, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/unmc\/sets\/72157654402022236\">here<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of you who are alumni of UNMC know that distance doesn&#8217;t mean very much in health care, that you form a family, friends and relationships that endure for a lifetime,&#8221; Dr. Gold told the crowd of more than 70 alumni at a dinner in the heart of Shanghai.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These types of long standing relationships don&#8217;t go away and the more than a decade of intense relationships that UNMC has built with China are sustaining, they are beyond any individual or any part of the organization, but they are self-sustaining because of their excellence,&#8221; Dr. Gold said.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the chancellor at the dinner were: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don Leuenberger, vice chancellor for business and finance;\n<li>Dele Davies, M.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs;\n<li>Bradley Britigan, M.D., dean of the College of Medicine and president of Nebraska Medicine;\n<li>Juliann Sebastian, Ph.D., dean of the College of Nursing;\n<li>Deb Thomas, associate vice chancellor for business and finance;\n<li>Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., dean of allied health professionals;\n<li>Kai Fu, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology and microbiology; and\n<li>Jialin Zheng, M.D., director of Asia Pacific Rim Development<\/ul>\n<p>UNMC&#8217;s distinguished guests from China included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chenghua Jiang, M.D., secretary of the Party Committee, Medical School of Tongji University;\n<li>Qiaoling Cai, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, Medical School of Tongji;\n<li>Hongmei Tang, M.D., president of Shanghai Institute of Health Sciences;\n<li>Xiaoning Zou, director of International Cooperation and Exchange Department, Shanghai Medicine and Health Development Foundation.<\/ul>\n<p>After Dr. Gold told the group of alumni they &#8220;should all be very proud of UNMC,&#8221; a traditional Chinese dinner was served, followed by toasts to the next 10 years of this valued relationship and collaboration.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful to see how many alumni we have in China,&#8221; Dr. Davies said. &#8220;They are delighted with the collaboration with UNMC, and it&#8217;s very energizing to be able to connect with them.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>After a couple rounds of karaoke, it was time to end the dinner &#8212; but the relationship, built steadily and consistently over the past 10 years, is still going strong.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We teach the next generation and we do science that really changes the world, and we all do it together,&#8221; Dr. Gold said.<\/p>\n<p>Together, this partnership will only grow stronger.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"E  zq fZauigq\">E  zq fZauigq<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P.
