About this course: Author Chris Wolff will explore the origins of the University of Kansas City and its eventual merger with the University of Missouri system in 1963. He will highlight how the university persevered through war and peace, economic downturns and times of prosperity. Today, that enduring heritage is most visible in the dozens of public artworks that grace the Volker Campus—helping to make UMKC one of the most beautiful urban universities in the country.
