In UNMC Today’s Student Spotlight, we get to know some of these students, who will become tomorrow’s health care professionals.

What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?
Time spent with friends. Specifically, I most enjoy the conversations we have in between studying for classes.
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.
Working together. Classmates have shown me that they are willing to collaborate their ideas while studying. This is particular noteworthy given that our grades are, in part, determined relative to the scores of other classmates. However, I have appreciated the maturity and sacrifice that many students make in order to be helpful to others.
