Community Engagement

Home / Community Engagement

As an urban-serving university, we want our campus to reflect both the community we serve and the changing demographics of the workforce we are preparing our students to enter when they graduate.

We are focused on providing resources so that UMKC continues to serve as a talent magnet, keeping our best and brightest here at home and attracting new talent from across the country and around the world.
