Today, we meet: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Name:<\/b> Theresa Pikschus\n<li><b>Hometown:<\/b> Born in Omaha, grew up in Council Bluffs &#8212; reside in Council Bluffs\n<li><b>No. of years at UNMC:<\/b> 27 years as of June 5<\/ul>\n<p><b>Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.<\/b><br \/>\nI began as a clinic clerk, and, during my 27 years, have moved to secretary, secretary II, office associate II and executive associate II. I now work directly with Ken Hansen, associate vice chancellor, facilities management and planning at UNMC and vice president, facilities at Nebraska Medicine.   I schedule and plan events, also coordinate with Nebraska Safety Council Van Driver Training for the Munroe-Meyer Institute and UNMC Child Care, serve as an Ambassador for LiveGreen and provide support for the Campus Facilities Management and Planning Department.<\/p>\n<p><b>Excellence is one of UNMC&#8217;s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group demonstrating excellence at UNMC.<\/b><br \/>\nI appreciate and admire the work Melanie Stewart has done with LiveGreen, including programs such as Travel Smart, Earth Week, desk side recycling and the cardboard recycling program. Melanie has done such a great job at keeping our campus green and continues to find new ways to do so.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is your favorite fall activity?<\/b><br \/> <br \/>\nHiking through the woods, rustling through leaves. And, of course, football games, visiting the pumpkin patch and picking apples with my grandson.<\/p>\n<p><b>List three things people may not know about you.<\/b>  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I was a foster parent for 17 years. Sixteen children have passed through my home. Although most stayed long term, graduated and moved on to begin their new lives, they will always be my family. I have adopted one child and still have one in my home. They are all special to me and I love each and every one of them.\n<li>I would like to travel and wish to retire then travel the states in a RV or van.\n<li>I love celebrating holidays and having family over. I enjoy entertaining my large group.<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facilities staff member has been at UNMC for 27 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":60081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","department-facilities","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lookin&#039;
