The campus programs at UMKC give an added dimension to students' academic experiences by offering opportunities for personal development and growth. There are many opportunities to participate in campus activities sponsored and funded by various student organizations. In addition to advising student councils, student government and more than 260 campus organizations in their programming efforts, the office also is responsible for administration of the student activity budget, leadership education programs, various publications, Communiversity and all Greek organizations. The UMKC campus HelpLine/Ombudsman is also housed in the Student Life Office and offers the campus community a professional, neutral and confidential resource for information and problem solving.
