Alumni and students now have a dedicated online community <\/em>to connect for networking, mentoring, interprofessional groups, and discussion boards.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community, UNMC Alumni Connections<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0is managed by the Alumni Relations Office and was created in partnership with industry leader, PeopleGrove. It was first made available to alumni earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals who are interested in signing up may visit https:\/\/connections.unmcalumni.org<\/a> and join the community via LinkedIn (if already signed up on that site), their UNMC NETID, or email.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni–this is the opportunity for you to connect with classmates, others in your profession or other UNMC alumni, no matter their location. This is also your connection point to students; to offer insight through short or long-term mentoring. Students are especially encouraged to take advantage of this unique resource to help build professional connections, find a mentor, and further their professional growth while still at UNMC.\u00a0Student users will then have the opportunity to continue utilizing the community after the transition from student to alumnus. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For questions or assistance logging into the platform, individuals can reach out to Kat Hamilton<\/a> in the Alumni Relations Office.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to hear what you think of this innovative new engagement platform and look forward to seeing the connections <\/em>you make.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
