Student Employee of the Year: Keynote Speaker

Monday, April 7th the Student Employment Office will host the Student Employee of the Year Program in the Ballrooom of the Milo Bail Student Center. The Student Employment Office is gracious to have Lee Denker, President of the UNO Alumni Association.

Denker became part of the UNO staff in July of 2006 after long-time President Jim Leslie retired. Denker was born and raised in Papillion, Neb. and was excited to return to his native area. Prior to his commitment here to UNO, he spent five years with the Boise State Alumni Association. While there, he redesigned its dues-paying membership program and established a lifetime membership endowment fund. He also completed fundraising on the association's alumni center campaign, which is a student relations program launched under his direction that earned national recognition from the Association of Student Advancement Programs.

During college, Denker took some undergraduate courses here at UNO but completed his degree in Journalism from the University of Nebraska Lincoln where his also got his master's in Communication.

Lee Denker has already made many contributions to the University of Nebraska at Omaha in the short time he has been here. His acheivements and contributions are why he has been chosen as the speaker for the Student Employee of the Year Program.
