Bob Hallstrom, JD, who is running to represent District 1 in the Nebraska Legislature, visited UNMC in mid-August.
District 1 includes Otoe, Johnson, Pawnee, Richardson and Nemaha counties.
Hallstrom started his visit by meeting with Interim Chancellor Dele Davies, MD. He then heard an overview of the iEXCEL program before taking a tour of the Davis Global Center.
Going into his visit, Hallstrom said he was somewhat aware of the innovation and research being done on campus.
“I’m amazed,” he said. “Keep on doing what you’re doing. UNMC provides amazing benefits to the state in terms of the training and research being done, and you provide a lot of hope for the future.”
