Recently, long-time Rotarian LeRoy Swedlund introduced her daughter Elizabeth Swedlund as the newest Rotarian at the Rotary Club of Omaha. Elizabeth is a native of Omaha, and attended the University of Nebraska- Lincoln where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Business Education and a Master’s in Educational Administration. After serving as a classroom teacher for 8 years, she moved into program administration. Elizabeth joined the University of Nebraska Medical Center in December of 2021, where she is the Administrator for the Division of Hematology and Oncology.
In her role as Administrator, Elizabeth is responsible for the fiscal and administrative oversight of the Division. She coordinates the division’s business affairs, manages its faculty and non-faculty personnel, and works with UNMC and Nebraska Medicine regarding the division’s finances. She also works with multiple partner organizations (UNMC, Nebraska Medicine, University of Nebraska Foundation, and the VA) to accomplish the educational, research, and clinical goals of the department and division and works on long-range planning and development of the division and the Cancer Center.
Outside of the office, Elizabeth is an avid sports fan and enjoys time with friends and family at various sporting events throughout the year. She also enjoys golf, traveling, reading, and baking, and being active in the community.
She believes that volunteering and giving back to the community is important, as volunteers can make a tangible difference in their communities by addressing social, environmental, or humanitarian issues, and can help address the unmet needs of others.
