Each year, the University of Missouri System hosts an Engagement and Extension Week to showcase the impact university engagement and extension programming have on addressing our state’s grand challenges in economic opportunity, educational excellence and access, and health and well-being.

This year, UMKC is expanding on these ideas to create UMKC Engagement Month, a 31-day (virtual) celebration of all the ways our UMKC students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends contribute to the Kansas City community and beyond.

We hope you’ll mark your calendars for our events and monitor our social media channels for engagement themed stories and announcements.
