Dr. Chuck Powell

Dr. Chuck Powell

Gentleman. Educator. Navy man. All could be used to describe the late Dr. Chuck Powell, professor emeritus of the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Department of Gerontology and the man for whom this lecture series is named.

Leadership was a subject familiar to Dr. Powell, who, as a 30-year U.S. Navy commander, participated in the Berlin airlift. Powell found gerontology in the second half of his life, earning his doctorate from the University of Nebraska in 1987 and joining the UNO faculty. “He was a wonderful gentleman and a great member of our faculty,” said Terry Haney Chair of Gerontology Dr. Julie Masters.

The Dr. Chuck Powell Memorial Lecture Series is open to university gerontology students, alumni, faculty, and the community. It is sponsored by the UNO Department of Gerontology and through the generosity of Dr. Amy Haddad and Mr. Steven Martin.

The Chuck Powell Memorial Lecture Series began at UNO in 2012. In just a few short years, the lecture series that focuses on leadership has become an annual rite of fall for UNO Gerontology students.
