ABOUT THE EDITOR Fellow Mavericks: Typically, this is where you’d read a letter from our editor, but we’re taking over his space to pay tribute to him instead. Twenty-five years ago, a young print journalist named Anthony Flott took over communication duties for the UNO Alumni Association. His main project was to write for and edit UNO’s alumni newsletter. The Alumni Association did not have an email address or website at the time. It would be years before we learned terms such as Google, iPhone and Facebook. Print journalism reigned in 1993. While it remains relevant and important, today’s fast-paced alumni expect to hear from UNO much more frequently via electronic media. That is why our communications program now includes monthly eNews newsletters; informative and interactive websites unoalumni.org and showtheo.com; and a continuously updated social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. But the alumni newsletter, now called UNO Magazine, has evolved into a highquality, award-winning publication that Anthony continues to manage and edit. In this era of continuous change, a milestone such as this is noteworthy enough that it deserves a brief pause and recognition. Cheers to the dedication and stability that Anthony has brought to his evolving but key role of keeping our 110,000 alumni aware of and engaged with UNO.
Thanks to Methodist, my family is living healthier. We share a special history with generations of families in this area, helping them through lifechanging events and sharing those moments of joy as they overcome challenges and become healthier. bestcare.org
Please join me in wishing Anthony Flott a happy 25th anniversary with the UNO Alumni Association. He can be reached at aflott@unoalumni.org. I know he would enjoy hearing from you. Go Mavericks!
