What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

Orientation Week 2010. It was great to catch up with people whom I hadn’t seen all summer.

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 — I see it in the work that student senators do all the time. Students from different colleges come together with great ideas and even better effort to make things better at UNMC.

List three things people may not know about you.

• I’ve lived in four different countries — the U.S., Canada, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia;
  
• I worked as a software tester for EA Sports on their NCAA College Football Game; and
