About Us

Engaging alumni in extraordinary programs and experiences

The Alumni Association works diligently to keep alumni connected and engaged through UMKC's schools and colleges. Our goal is to help connect fellow classmates, support current students, network or just stay on top of what’s happening at UMKC. The Alumni Association is partnering with Career Services, the Professional Career Escalators program and the First Gen Roo Program to provide volunteer opportunities to mentor students and new resources for career and professional development.

In addition, the Alumni Association publishes the award-winning Perspectives magazine and produces alumni e-newsletters, websites and communications.
