Highlights From the First Week of Classes in Fall 2020

Photos show the new normal at UMKC as classes get underway

We were excited to welcome our Roos back to campus!

The beginning of the fall semester looked different this year, but Roo pride was still felt all throughout UMKC. We welcomed back students with a socially distanced parade, virtual Week of Welcome events and much more. With many safety precautions in place, our students were able to connect with one another and make a strong start to the semester. Here are a few photos that highlight our return to campus.
