Located in the Williams Science Hall, level 3, the UNMC Alumni Relations Office (ARO) manages events, communications, and financial responsibilities of the UNMC Alumni Association. The UNMCAA is the umbrella organization for the Alumni Councils for the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Dentistry, Allied Health Professions and the Graduate Studies Program. In addition, the ARO provides staff support for the College of Medicine Parents and Family Association and the UNMC Retiree Association.
