"UMKC taught me how to learn and use all of the 'tools in my toolbox.' Every class taught me know to understand complex issues, create partnerships, think critically and interact productively."
Andrew Miller, '14
"I found my passion. UMKC really let me explore my passions. I got to call the basketball games and volleyball on the radio with a headset on the sideline. I got to serve as vice president of student government and I was our student lobbyist."
