International ag safety group honors Aaron Yoder, PhD
The International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health honored Aaron Yoder, PhD, associate professor in the UNMC Department of Environmental, Agricultural & Occupational Health, with the organization’s ISASH President’s Award.
Dr. Yoder, also representing the Central States Center for Ag Safety and Health, was recognized for stepping up to chair the ISASH By-Laws Committee and helping lead an update of the organization’s bylaws.
He was among six individuals recognized for their contributions to the organization and to the field of agricultural safety and health at its 2022 annual conference in Fort Collins, Colorado.
"These awards were established to acknowledge leaders who have made significant contributions to protecting people who work in agriculture," said Amy Rademaker, incoming ISASH president and Carle Rural Health & Farm Safety Program coordinator, Urbana, Illinois. "These individuals have made positive impacts on the culture of safety in agriculture through safety training, research, promotion and education."

Colleagues from across the med center donated more than 1,500 school supplies for kids in the community through an organization-wide drive.
For the first time, the Emerging Professionals Program teamed up with the Nebraska Medicine offices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Community and Corporate Relations to host a school supply drive.
For two weeks, colleagues were invited to drop off requested items in bins across UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. They also could purchase items from an Amazon wish list, which were delivered directly to SHARE Omaha.
More than 10 organizations will benefit from the donations collected.
