SGS Spotlight is an electronic newsletter published 3 times a year by the School of Graduate Studies with information and resource articles for all UMKC graduate students and advisers. Use a RSS reader? Subscribe to the SGS Spotlight feed by clicking on the RSS link in the sidebar.
Besides providing current news, this website provides links to various resources that we hope will make your journey toward your goal of a graduate degree at UMKC more productive and rewarding. The website is organized in “pages” which may be viewed by clicking on the TABS across the top of your screen under the SGS Spotlight heading. The text on each page provides highlights of information with which you should be familiar in order to succeed in your quest — the links on each page will direct you to more complete information.
The “Blog Roll” located on the side bar on the right side of the “Home Page” screen provides links to information resources — both within UMKC and externally — that graduate students might find of interest.
