Education is one of the four pillars of UNMC’s mission and our students are the lifeblood of that aspect of campus life.
In UNMC Today’s Student Spotlight, we get to know some of these students, who are training to become tomorrow’s health care professionals.

What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?
Some of my best times at UNMC were spent in the clinical setting. It is the best feeling in the world to take care of a patient and to see they have total faith in you and trust you to provide the best care for them.
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.
As being a part of the first class from the Northern Division, I have witnessed many acts of leadership. One example would be how a few of my classmates took on the leadership role to form our own chapter of the Student Nursing Association (SNA). As a class, we then all came together to make our new chapter a success. A lot of hard work was put in by my classmates and I am very grateful I had them in those leadership roles.
List three things people may not know about you.

- I love naps!
