University of Missouri – Kansas City

The story of the University of Missouri-Kansas City is one of the obstacles becoming opportunities. It’s a tale of triumph over turmoil. It’s a testament to the power of partnerships – where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

We intend our engagement to advance the human condition: expanding knowledge, improving health, promoting greater justice, alleviating poverty, opening avenues for economic development to underserved communities, expanding knowledge, driving artistic creativity and expression and improving lifelong learning. This is how we define “impactful engagement,” and how we intend to practice it. 

Working hand in hand with community partners, we strive to prepare educated, engaged citizens who will serve as our community’s future workforce, artists, contributors and leaders; to strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and to contribute to the public good. 

Our faculty, staff and students engage with our community, just as our community engages with UMKC. We continue to leverage the power and influence of our 60+ stakeholder organizations and the collective efforts and talents of our 50,000+ alumni living in this region to drive engagement and its impact to ever-greater levels. For our university community, the benefits of engagement include enriched scholarship, research, creative activity, curriculum, teaching and learning.
