A Fresh Start


UMKC Welcomes New and Returning Students

For the past few weeks, the University of Missouri-Kansas City has welcomed thousands of new and returning students. As it always does, the influx of students brings great social and academic energy to UMKC. Whether through meeting a Sporting KC soccer star, chatting outside the Student Union, or even through an impromptu game of Frisbee, students took time to engage in a community that promotes diversity, academic success, and Roo pride.
