Located in Williams Science Hall on level 3, the Alumni Relations Office (ARO) manages events, communications and financial responsibilities of the UNMC Alumni Association (UNMCAA). The UNMCAA is the umbrella organization for the Alumni Councils for the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Dentistry, and Allied Health Professions and for 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.
The UNMCAA and each college's Alumni Council are focusing on serving and engaging graduates, disseminating effective communications, forming meaningful connections between alumni and students, and facilitating opportunities for alumni to invest in their UNMC passions.
All UNMC graduates are members of the Alumni Association, a proud cohort of more than 53,000 healthcare professionals making a difference in the lives of their patients, profession, community, state and beyond.
Resources for Students
The Connections Project blog is a place for UNMC Alumni to share real-world information and advice with students and fellow alumni. Content is shared via short, written posts or videos that are quick and easy to digest and are cross-posted to the UNMCAA’s Facebook and X accounts. Some topics covered include well-being, professional skills, personal finance, time, talent and treasure. Students are encouraged to visit the blog and subscribe to receive up to one email a month with a link to the latest post.
UNMC Alumni Connections is an online platform that offers students the opportunity to find and connect with alumni through 1:1 messaging, discussion boards, groups and programming. It is a great networking tool for students and alumni alike.
Since its launch in April 2021, more than 1,700 students and alumni have joined the site.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of this unique resource to connect with alumni who have been in their shoes and who can help further their personal and professional growth. Upon graduation, student users will transition into alumni users who can continue using the site to stay connected with their classmates, UNMC and the UNMCAA.
