UNMC High School Alliance

We are always grateful and humbled when the program is featured like this in the UNMC Connect Magazine. Thank you, Sarah Hankin, for capturing the essence of what we do for our students. And, another thank you to our alumni who agreed to be interviewed for this story. We are so proud of all of you!

Diagnosing a passion: UNMC’s High School Alliance Launched in 2010, the program helps teens chart their future by showing them a bit of everything in the health science professions.

We celebrated the Class of 2026 on Friday, May 15. (Yes, we borrowed photos from your posts, students. Thank you. All photo credits to you!) Keep believing in yourselves and each other. Thank you for a wonderful year. See you back here, soon.

My vas lyubim! ❤️

Students in our anatomy class spent their afternoon using virtual reality to get a closer look at how our hearts work. Thank you to iEXCEL UNMC for showing our students how to use the equipment!

It's prom season for our students at their home high schools. Thank you to these students from Westside, Omaha Burke, and DC West for the UNMC High School Alliance group photo they took on Saturday. ❤️
