Welcome home new Roos, and welcome back returning Roos!
Roo Welcome unites new and returning students to celebrate UMKC's vibrant campus life, while also energizing them as they transition to the new semester ahead.
Questions? Contact the Office of Student Involvement (OSI) at (816) 235-1407 or getinvolved@umkc.edu.
Roo Welcome takes place during the first three weeks of the semester.

Welcome Leaders are returning UMKC students who are tasked with helping new students transition to campus. They will be some of the first students you meet and connect with on campus. Look out for them at Roo Welcome events, including Convocation, Unionfest, and more.
Are you a returning student who wants to help new students begin their journey at UMKC? Make an immediate impact on new Roos as a Roo Welcome Leader!
Welcome Leader applications open each Spring for the following Fall Roo Welcome.
We encourage UMKC faculty and staff, departments, offices, and community partners to get involved in our Roo Welcome programming. Help us welcome new and returning Roos to campus.
