Other recent alumni dropped in as well, as did Wayne Stuberg, Ph.D., president of UNMC&#8217;s alumni engagement council, and Dele Davies, M.D.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We put this event together to increase student-alumni interaction,&#8221; Wojtynek said. &#8220;This is an opportunity to bring in and honor alumni who have been successful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"
