President's Letter -Winter 2010Welcome to the UNL Emeriti Association's Website The purpose of the UNL Emeriti Association is to provide an opportunity for fellowship and connections among Emeriti/ae of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Our membership is comprised of Emeriti/ae faculty from UNL. Honorary Life Memberships are granted to surviving spouses or partners of UNL Emeriti/ae. In addition, this year we have added a new category of membership, “Collegial Members,” who are emeriti from other colleges or universities who have been nominated by a member to the Board of Directors.Each month during the academic year, we meet to socialize, have lunch and listen to a program selected by our Vice President. Click on the Schedule tab above to see the schedule and details. You can see a webcast of many of our past programs by clicking on the Look and Listen tab above. Last year we also initiated a get-together--the New Emeriti Connection (NEC)--at a local coffee house for new emeriti/ae (retired in the last two or so years). Click on the Newcomers tab above for the schedule and directions on how to contact Kay Rockwell (the NEC) coordinator so she can send you notification of NEC events. Our new year begins with a luncheon to welcome our new members at the Champions Club on Tuesday, January 19th, beginning at 11:00 a.m. with a wine and cheese reception. If you plan on attending, please contact me (hhowe1@unl.edu or 423-2208) by January 15th. I hope to see you there. Our regular spring monthly meetings will be held on Thursday, February 18th, Tuesday, March 16th and Thursday April 15. The luncheons will be held in the East Campus Union, beginning at 11:30. More details are available by clicking on the Calendar tab above. We hope to see you at our activities. Herb Howe, President 2010 |
