Gold, MD, expressed his appreciation for the faculty and staff at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;2021 was a challenging year for everyone,&quot; Dr. Gold said. &quot;However, as an academic medical center, UNMC faced unique challenges as we grappled with our mission of education, research and patient care. Our faculty and staff worked hard to keep the university running smoothly and to serve our students and patients in a safe and responsible manner in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked a lot of you. You delivered.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our goal is for the University of Nebraska to be an employer of choice &#8212; a place where talented people come, stay to build successful careers, and feel valued not only for their work but as human beings,&quot; NU System President Ted Carter, UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green, UNO Chancellor Joanne Li, UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen and Dr. Gold wrote in a joint letter to all employees Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We hope this additional leave gives you an opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy time with loved ones, and that it signals how much we value you and your contributions.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Two banked holidays (prorated by FTE)  will be added to &#8220;Banked Holiday&#8221; leave in Firefly for leave-eligible employees.
