Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

I’ve noticed that our manager is a good, empathetic listener. This is a strong quality that helps bring value as a team. Communication is a vital factor to have smooth flow in the workplace.

List three things people may not know about you.
