The leadership and generosity of the alumni and friends who have contributed to this chair illustrates their pride in the College of Nursing and its students. The UNMC College of Nursing Alumni Association began the funding initiative for the chair in 1989. That same year, the Alumni Association Board of Directors approved the renaming of the endowed chair to recognize this gift made in honor of Charlotte Peck Lienemann, a 1945 College of Nursing graduate. A chair recipient will be announced following a national search. My wife was an inspiration to those she served through nursing, said Del Lienemann, Sr., president and manager of The Ethel S. Abbott Charitable Foundation and husband of the late Charlotte Peck Lienemann.
Nursing is a valiant profession that gets to the heart of helping others.
We are pleased to help UNMC in its efforts to attract a top quality instructor to better prepare nurses for the important job that lies ahead of them. Lienemann, of Lincoln, again pledged his assistance for the fund in 1997 at the college s 80th anniversary celebration. UNMC s commitment to a quality education. We are grateful for the opportunity to expand our research and teaching efforts.
