External Relations and Constituent Engagement

CONNECTING You With the University

UMKC Community Connect

In 2020, the UM System and each of its four universities launched their Community Connect platforms — tools designed to improve opportunities for communication and connection between the universities and various populations in the communities they serve.

Each Community Connect website features stories of community engagement, upcoming events, resources, services and campus contacts to support and facilitate community conversations.
