Stammers leaves legacy of excellence in UNMC’s clinical education program

While Al Stammers was in junior high school, he told his mother he hoped to be a teacher one day. His mother, a homemaker with no advanced education, warned him to always be careful as an educator and understand the power he would have as a teacher – to never neglect his responsibility to do the very best for all of his students.

As Mary Haven, associate dean of the School of Allied Health Professions, noted at Stammers’ going away reception on Jan. 10, there is no overstating how deeply Stammers took his mother’s message to heart during 10 years as director of SAHP division of clinical perfusion education.
