After a long and distinguished career as an educator, researcher and mentor to her students and colleagues, Ethel Williams, director of the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) School of Public Administration, is retiring this year.
Throughout her career, Ethel relentlessly focused on lifting others up, putting her deep faith into action and mentoring young people. Serving on many boards and councils where she was a strong advocate for people in need, Ethel has received many awards and recognition for her commitment to social equity and cultural competency. More importantly, Ethel inspired all of her students to pursue their dreams while giving back to their communities.
We hope you can join us at a reception to honor and celebrate Ethel’s many contributions to UNO and her service to the community. This reception will be held on April 17, from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. at the Thompson Alumni Center.
