The UMKC Brand Personality

UMKC has everything you could want in a major American University: top faculty representing all disciplines, from the arts to the life and health sciences; all the facilities and up-to-the-minute technological resources students need; all at a serenely beautiful campus situated in the heart of a thriving cultural district. UMKC is a place of diversity: our 14,200-plus students come from every state and nearly 100 countries. Student life thrives -- plenty of in-class and extra-curricular activities. At UMKC there's a respect for tradition, balanced by a commitment to the future.
UMKC is an academic standard-bearer ... a forward thinking, cultural, intellectual and educational center point. UMKC takes seriously its roles as educator and home-away-from home for students from all segments of society. UMKC has a unique, deeply intertwined partnership with Kansas City, the major American city we call home. Kansas City owns an international reputation for livability, beauty, history and a dogged determination to get things done. If Kansas City is the very heart of America, UMKC is proud to be its brain. The result is a relationship mutually beneficial to all, and to all generations.
UMKC is a universe of knowledge in a city of opportunity. UMKC is a great place to get a life.
