MaST is Moving Spring 2019
Math and Science Tutoring (MaST) is Moving!
Academic Support and Mentoring is excited to announce that as of January 22, 2019, Math and Science Tutoring (MaST) will relocate from Miller Nichols Library to the Atterbury Student Success Center, second floor. The new location is designed to consider students’ needs for both collaboration and privacy, and will create a “hub” of peer-supported learning including Supplemental Instruction office hours and Writing Studio services. Appointments will continue to be available using UMKC Tutortrac, with new walk-in hours of Monday-Friday, 12:00-4:00 p.m.

Empty Chairs
Every day people miss work and class due to domestic violence.
As a part of the Empty Chairs Campaign, the UMKC Violence Prevention & Response Program collaborated with the Department of Art and Art History to raise awareness about domestic violence and how it affects members of our community.
Students from the Art Department’s 3D Design class transformed chairs into works of art that speak to the theme of domestic violence, and displayed them across campus throughout the month of October.
Now, these chairs are on display together at the Miller Nichols Library. Come see these powerful works of art and learn what you can do to reduce the impact of domestic violence.

In an effort to increase first-time college enrollment at UMKC, a strategic scholarship plan has been developed in conjunction with recommendations provided by consulting firm Ruffalo Noel Levitz. This plan consists of increasing scholarship funding in first-time college merit-based awards beginning in the fall of 2019 to remain competitive in the market while maximizing net tuition revenue.
