Coming off its best season in its 29 years of competition, a season in which it set school records for wins (24), conference wins (12) and consecutive wins (17) and claimed its first ever conference cham-pionship, the UMKC volleyball team, under the direction of reigning WAC Coach of the Year Christi Posey, will aim to repeat its 2014 accom-plishments, while looking to take one more step to take to reach its goal of making its first ever appearance in the NCAA Championship.

The ‘Roos, who were picked to repeat as WAC Champions in a vote by the conference head coaches, return five starters and their libero from a squad that finished with a perfect 3-0 record in preseason tournaments twice in a season for the first time in school history when they claimed the titles at both the CEFCU Classic and the FGCU Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Classic.

The 2015 edition of the Kangaroos will be led by a class of seven seniors, including returning First Team All-WAC mem-bers Sydney Crimmins and Taryn Miller, who have guided the ‘Roos to three consecutive win-ning seasons, just three of only four total in school history.

In 2014, Crimmins finished second on the team with 305 kills, third with 100 blocks and third with 351 digs and earned the WAC hon-ors after being named Second Team All-WAC in 2013. Crimmins, who serves as the WAC rep-resentative to the NCAA for SAAC, now stands fifth all-time in school history with 250 career block assists.

Miller, meanwhile, joined Crimmins as a 2013 Second Team All-WAC performer who was named First Team in 2014 after the Blue Springs, Mo., native led the WAC in digs (5.48), while setting the school record for both digs in a season (663) and digs in a career (1,740). Thanks to her accomplishments on the court, Miller was named Honorable Mention AVCA Division I All-Midwest Region, while academically Miller garnered Capital One Academic All-District 6 First Team recognition.

A third UMKC senior, Jessica Hendin, joined Miller and Crimmins on the Preseason All-WAC squad after leading the ‘Roos with 343 kills a season ago and being named to the all-tour-nament teams at both the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Omaha Classic and the Jackrabbit Invita-tional and WAC Player of the Week on Sep. 8.

Skyler Muff, a fourth UMKC senior, will look to close out her career on a high note after claiming MVP honors at the FGCU Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Classic in 2014. On the year, Muff tallied 208 kills and 70 blocks, giving her over 500 kills and nearly 200 blocks in her career in the Blue & Gold.

Setting up the offense will be a pair of long tenured setters in senior Nicole Wemhoff and junior Kaylyn Brandt. Last year, Wemhoff posted 593 assists and Brandt notched 721 helpers, as both moved into the top-10 all-time in school history on the assist list with Wemhoff ranking fourth (1,830) and Brandt sitting eighth (1,335).

On the outside, UMKC returns two third year Kangaroos out of Iowa in junior Taylor Buhrow and redshirt sophomore Meagan Kerns. Last sea-son, Buhrow recorded 146 kills and 40 blocks, while Kerns added six kills and seven blocks after returning from a knee injury.

Joining Miller in the back row are a pair of expe-rienced defensive spe-cialist in senior Lindsay Zych and sophomore Adasia Bromberger. The duo will be relied upon by Posey to come off the bench to provide a

defensive spark or find an ace for the ‘Roos at critical times during the season.

New to the ‘Roos in 2015 are a pair of junior transfers in Madison Mosier and Brianna Starr. Mosier follows the footsteps of former ‘Roo Morgan Voorhes, com-ing to Kansas City from Pittsburg State. As a Gorilla, the Lee’s Summit, Mo., native led the squad the past two season in kills, tallying over 700 in her time at Pitt State. The Blue Springs, Mo., native Starr joins the ‘Roos after two seasons at Gardner-Webb and reunites with former Blue Springs High School teammate Miller in 2015. As a Bulldog, Starr was named to the Big South All-Freshman Team in 2013 and recorded over 500 kills in her two seasons.

The ‘Roos freshmen class consists of a trio of ‘Roos all with different backgrounds in Emma Dyer, Audrey Grant and Alexia Morey. Dyer is in her second season with the ‘Roos after redshirt-ing in 2014, while Grant is also a redshirt after sitting out last season at Tulsa. Morey, meanwhile, comes to Kansas City out of Colorado Springs, Colo., and will be the squad’s only true fresh-man.

Christi Posey enters her fifth season at the helm of the UMKC volleyball program after being named the new head coach of the Kangaroos on Feb. 14, 2011.

With the team’s success, Posey has moved into second place on the UMKC all-time wins list and is the only one on the list who holds a winning record. In her four seasons, she has amassed a winning re-cord in three consecutive years after the program accumulated just one winning season in the 24 years prior to her arrival.

This past year, Posey guided the ‘Roos to the greatest season in the history of the program as UMKC claimed their first ever conference championship, winning the WAC regular season title. During the season, the ‘Roos won a pair of presea-son tournament titles for the first time in school history with crowns at the CEFCU Classic and FGCU Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Classic, knocked off Missouri for the third time in school history and the first time since 1994 and set school records for overall wins (24), conference wins (12) and consecutive wins (17) leading to Posey being named as the WAC Coach of the Year.

Under her direction, Emma Hagedorn was named the WAC Player of the Year and was joined on the First Team All-WAC by Sydney Crimmins and Taryn Miller, while Melissa Hartsel was placed on the Second Team All-WAC. Miller, meanwhile, garnered AVCA Division I All-Midwest Region Honorable Mention honors and was named to the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District 6 First Team.

In 2013, the ‘Roos finished with just their third winning record in school history and the first time ever finishing with a winning record in back-to-back seasons after the squad finished 15-14 overall. On the year, Crimmins and Miller each

garnered Second Team All-WAC recogni-tion and Kaylyn Brandt was named to the All-Freshman team, while Emma Hage-dorn set the school record for blocks in a season and a game.

Off the court, Crimmins was selected as the WAC’s representative to the NCAA’s SAAC, while Crimmins, Miller, Brandt, Skyler Muff, Morgan Voorhes and Nicole Wemhoff all garnered Academic All-WAC honors.

In 2013, Posey guided the ‘Roos to a 17-13 record overall, the second most wins in school history, while Emily Lucas was named to the First Team All-Summit League and Hagedorn was named Hon-orable Mention All-Summit League and to the Summit League All-Freshman Team. Muff, meanwhile, was named to a pair of preseason all-tournament teams, while Lucas and Miller were each named to one.

Academically, three Kangaroos were named to the Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence, while seven were named to The Summit League Fall Academic Honor Roll, including four as Distinguished Scholars.

In her first season as the ‘Roos head coach, Posey guided the squad to a 12-17 record overall and a 6-12 mark in Summit League play, including five wins in their final seven matches. During the year, the first year coach saw five separate players named to all-tournament teams, while leading UMKC to a 3-0 record in the Rad-ford Tournament, its first preseason title since 2002. Under her watch, meanwhile, seniors Christiana McQuin (blocks and block assists) and Nicole Kerkman (digs) each set new school records.

Academically, eight ‘Roos were named to The Summit League Fall Academic All-League Team, including three as Distin-guished Scholars, while the team claimed its third NCAA Public Recognition Award from the NCAA in the last four years af-ter finishing in the top-10 percent in APR of all NCAA Division I volleyball teams for the 2010-11 season.

Prior to joining the UMKC program, Posey has spent eleven seasons as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator at the University of Kansas, where she landed the No. 26 ranked class in the nation according to PrepVolleyball.com in 2010.

While at Kansas, Posey worked with the team’s setters and defensive specialist, while also serving as the team’s recruiting coordinator, overseeing the team’s manag-ers, team room and camp administration, and acting as a liaison between the team and its sports psychologist, promotions department and the weight room

During her time on the sidelines, Posey

oversaw the development of many impressive Jayhawks, including 2010 team members Melissa Manda and Nicole Tate. Under Posey’s guidance, Manda became the all-time digs leader at KU with 1,457 digs in her career, while Tate served as the team’s primary setter the past three season and was named to the 2008 all-Big 12 Freshman squad.

From 2002-05, Posey worked with Andi Rozum who became Kansas’ all-time leader in assists, as well as Jennifer Kraft, who was named 2002 Big 12 Defensive Specialist of the Year.

Prior to heading to Lawrence, Posey served as the head volleyball coach at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park, Kan., from 1993 to 2000. During that time, Posey led the Huskies to KSHSAA state tournaments in each of her eight season, winning the state cham-pionships in 1996 and 1997, while finishing third three times. At Blue Valley North-west, Posey also served as head girls’ basketball and assistant softball coach for the Huskies and was named a member of its inaugural Husky Hall of Fame class.

While coaching the Huskies, she was named the 1999 Johnson County Volley-ball Coach of the Year by the Kansas City Star, the 1997 Coach of the Year by the Kansas Volleyball Association and Kansas Sport Magazine after leading her team to a perfect 44-0 record, including a sec-ond-straight KSHSAA state championship and the 1996 Coach of the Year by Kansas Sport Magazine and Sports Connection after guiding her team to a 41-3 record and the state championship.

Before taking over the coaching duties at Blue Valley Northwest, Posey served in the same position at Halstead (Kan.) High School from 1983-90 where she was se-lected to serve as head coach at the 1990 Kansas Volleyball Association’s annual All-Star Game after being named co-Coach of the Year by the KVA. Four times her squad’s qualified for the state tournament, including a third place finish in 1990.

In her 18 years as a high school coach, Posey compiled an overall record of 392-171.

During her college career, Posey lettered in volleyball and softball at Wichita State as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Kansas for her final two years of eligibility, where she was a stand-out first baseman and outfielder for the KU softball team.

Posey, a Wichita, Kan., native, received a bachelor’s degree in education from Uni-versity of Kansas in 1982 where she ma-jored in physical education and minored in health education.

Trent Jones enters his third seasons as Associate Head Coach after serving two years as the assistant coach.

In his four years on the staff, Jones has helped the ‘Roos to a 68-50 overall mark and three straight winning seasons for the first time in school history, while seven play-ers have been named to all-con-ference teams and two more to all-freshman teams.

This past year, Jones helped guide the ‘Roos to the greatest season in the history of the program as UMKC claimed their first ever conference championship, winning the WAC regular season title. During the season, the ‘Roos won a pair of preseason tournament titles for the first time in school history with crowns at the CEF-CU Classic and FGCU Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Classic, knocked off Missouri for

the third time in school history and the first time since 1994 and set school records for overall wins (24), conference wins (12) and consecutive wins (17).

“Trent has been instrumental in the success we’ve experienced thus far and there is no ques-tion to the positive impact he will have in the future in our program.” Head Coach Christi Posey said, “His loyalty, his work ethic, and his commitment to player improvement make him an outstanding asset to Kansas City Volleyball.”

Jones came to UMKC from UMSL, where he led the Tritons to a 64-28 record in his three seasons and the squad’s first trip to the NCAA Division II tournament since 1995 in 2010. In that sea-son, he directed the squad to its first appearance in the AVCA top-25 since 1993, while being named the Great Lakes Valley Coach of the Year in 2008. In his three sea-sons, Jones produced 12 All-GLVC selections, four All-Region selec-tions and an All-Region Freshman of the Year honoree.

Although Jones oversees many aspects of the program, his work with the middle attackers pro-duced an All-League performance from freshman, Emma Hagedorn. Jones also coordinates blocking schemes and team defense.

“We are thrilled to be able to promote Trent to Associate Head Coach; it gives us the chance to demonstrate our appreciation for his expertise and dedication.” Posey said.

Prior to heading the UMSL pro-gram, Jones served as First As-sistant at Washburn University from 2004-2008, helping the Lady Blues to a 129-23 record during his time on the bench. In 2007, Washburn made its first ever appearance in the NCAA Divi-sion II Final Four after achieving a school-record 35-3 record in 2005. Under his guidance, the Lady Blues placed seven players on the all-American team.

From 2002-04, Jones served as a volunteer assistant at the Univer-sity of Kansas where he helped guide the squad to its best season in school history and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.

As a collegiate student-athlete, Jones was a member of the Co-lumbia College men’s team, where he led the Cougars to the 2000 NAIA Men’s Volleyball National Championship. The new UMKC Assistant Coach also spent 1998-1999 and 2000-02 as a member of Graceland University volleyball team where he earned his Bach-elor of Arts in History with an emphasis on Civil Rights in 2002

CATALINA SUAREZ -- NO. 8, NUMBER RETIRED OCT. 31, 1996UMKC produced one of the greatest collegiate volleyball players of all time when Catalina Suarez donned a Kan ga roos’ uniform from 1988—89. And on Oct. 31, 1996, UMKC retired the No. 8 in her honor. She joins former basketball player Ronnie Schmitz as the only two UMKC student-athletes to have their uniform number retired. Suarez transferred to UMKC following the 1986 season after a two-year stint with the Uni ver si ty of Kansas. After sitting out the 1987 season, she finished her career at UMKC from 1988—89. In 1989, she was named first-team all-Mideast and was an honorable mention all-American. She received UMKC’s David B. Milner Award

in both 1988-89 and 1989-90, which is presented to the department’s most inspirational athlete. She was also a member of the Colombian national team for four years and served as the captain for three years. The decision to retire Suarez’ number was made by the UMKC Special Recognition Committee, which was composed of selected mem-bers of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee. In 2008, Suarez was selected to the inaugural UMKC Athletics Hall of Fame, where she was officially inducted on Dec. 5. Suarez still ranks at or near the top of several Division I national record charts.

Director of Athletics Carla Wilson

CARLA WILSONDirector of Athletics

Carla Wilson was named the fourth Director of Athletics in the Division I era, made official on Monday, December 2, 2013 with a public announcement at the Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City. She held the position in an interim role the previous five months.

Wilson leads the Athletics Department as it competes in the Western Athletic Conference. Wilson’s leadership in the department has touched many facets – budget, human resources, facilities, sport administration and student-athlete welfare and development.

Wilson became the only female athletics director in the Western Athletic Conference, and the first ever female leader of intercollegiate athletics at UMKC. She is one of a few minority women serving as an athletics director at the NCAA’s 351 Division I institutions. At the time of her hire, less than 9 percent of Division I athletics directors were women; less than 4 percent were minority women. She was also the only African-American woman athletics director in Division I not at a historically black college or university.

“Carla is a nationally recognized leader in college athletics, and was an easy and natural choice for this position,” said Leo E. Morton, Chancellor of UMKC. “While we are promoting from within, we are also choosing the best candidate for this important position. Carla has the experience, the dedication and the vision to be an exemplary leader.”

In 2012, she was named the Division I Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators. A member of the WAC AD’s council, Wilson’s 17 years of experience in athletics is vital as she works with the WAC on strategic planning and branding initiatives. Well rounded in sport administration, she has been the sport administrator for 14 of the 16 sports sponsored by UMKC throughout her career – men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s cross country, and men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field.

Prior to the AD appointment, she served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Business and Administration and Senior Woman Administrator since 2007. In this role, Wilson was responsible for the human resources and business operations of the department, as well as all day-to-day operations in the absence of the Director of Athletics, and served as a member of the Director of Athletics senior staff. Wilson was responsible for the preparation, development and maintenance of the budgets for all 16 sports and nine administrative areas of the department. She also served as the sport administrator for women’s basketball, men’s soccer, and men’s and women’s tennis. Wilson also served as the Assistant Athletics Director for Business Operations for nine years prior to her time as Senior Associate Athletics Director.

As Senior Woman Administrator, Wilson is the highest ranking female involved with the management of UMKC’s Intercollegiate Athletics program, and represents UMKC in dealings with the conference office and the NCAA. She also partakes in program-wide administrative responsibilities, including decision making at the institutional, conference and national levels.

The Evolution of the Kangaroo

When choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that

represent power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”

Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate.

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU.

Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.

Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by former UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

The first incarnation

of Kasey Kangaroo

was inked by Marceline, Mo., native

Walt Disney, and featured

the KCU mascot

alongside a somewhat

more famous rodent.

Victor F. Swyden Athletics Training FacilityThe Victor F. Swyden Athletics Training Facility continues UMKC’s commitment to the total care of each student-athlete. Under the guidance of Head Athletics Trainer Ted Ferris, the UMKC Sports Medicine staff prioritizes prevention, treatment and rehabili-tiation in working with Kangaroo student-athletes.

Built in 1999, the Swyden Athletics Training Facility honors the memory of former Kansas City councilman and longtime UMKC Athletics supporter Victor F. Swyden, who headed the taskforce that guided the Kangaroos from NAIA to NCAA Division I. A lifetime resident of Kansas City and a graduate of Paseo High School, Swyden was honored in 1993 with the Golden Torch Award, one of the highest honors bestowed by UMKC upon an individual.

Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field serves as the official home of the Kangaroos and will provide student-athletes, students and community groups with one of the top soccer facilities in the WAC and the Midwest. The $9 million addition adds to the growing residential feel of the UMKC campus. The gift from the Durwood Foundation and its trustees to construct this stadi-um is another in their long history of supporting a variety of UMKC initiatives.Durwood will provide seating for 850 fans and a separate addition will host locker rooms, offices and concession areas. Stanley H. Durwood was one of the University’s and the athletic program’s most ardent supporters. His affiliation with UMKC began when NCAA Division I partic-ipation was a pipe dream. Durwood also helped establish an endowed scholar-ship for UMKC student-athletes.

The home of UMKC Athletics, Swinney Recreation Center is also one of the finest fitness centers in all of Kansas City. Created through a $14.5 million addition to the old Swinney Gymnasium, the center includes five basketball courts, four racquet ball courts, a 25-meter indoor/outdoor pool and three exercise rooms - two weight rooms and a cardio room.

The competition court serves as the home venue for UMKC volleyball in the fall, UMKC women’s basketball contests during the winter.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in the WAC courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Original Old Swinney Gymnasium, affectionately known as “Old Swinney”, which is part of the Swinney Recreation Center received a face lift in the summer of 2010. The renovation transforms the Old Swinney Gymnasium into a modern, collegiate practice facility that will better serve the student body, faculty and staff members and community members, as well as provide outstanding training opportunities for ‘Roo student-athletes.

The $500,000 renovation plan included new basketball/volleyball court flooring and basketball standards and volleyball nets to be installed in the existing facility. The current skylights in the building were also altered, which allows for modified lighting to be put into place. The entire Old Swinney interior will be updated and scoreboards will be installed.

In fact, the auditorium has hosted a total of nine NCAA Championships, which are the most of any other building in the country. The facility is also the home to the NAIA National Tournament and the MIAA Tournament.

A facility upgrade included $3.5 million in renovations, encompassing new arena lighting, new seating and enhanced locker rooms for players and offi-cials.

Municipal Auditorium is located in the heart of downtown Kansas City and steps from the Kansas City Power & Light District.

Municipal Auditorium comfortably seats 10,700 people, including 7,300 permanent upholstered seats.

The Arena is one of four self-contained venues in the Municipal Auditori-um, and has its own lighted marquee, box office, show office, coat check,

restrooms and concessions. It is accessible from the south side of 13th Street, where visitors enter through the splendid Grand Foyer.

FACTSAfter completing its 51st year of intercollegiate competition, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and feature some of the nation’s best programs. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the schools in the WAC to ad-vance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA.

The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets and largest metropolitan cities. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of suc-cess with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC has experienced tremendous success over the years. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 29 seasons. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003. In women’s basketball, the conference has had at least two teams qualify for the NCAA Tournament 10 times in 22 seasons, with a record five teams in 1998. The WAC also sent teams to three BCS football bowl games since 2006.

In 2013-14, the WAC will create a new digital network to give fans streaming internet access to many of its regular season games and postseason championships including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, softball and baseball.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the origi-nal six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.

Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE AT UMKCStudent housing at UMKC is about more than just offering you a place to eat and sleep - it’s about your total educational experience. Whether it’s continuing a class-room discussion over pizza, or attending a discussion with faculty outside of class, we know that having a home away from home is important. Residence Life offers you a place where you can hang out with friends, learn about others and most importantly, learn about yourself.

That’s why all housing is conveniently lo-cated on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus build-ings. Nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approxi-mately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).

THE NEW STUDENT UNION UMKC opened a new 109,000-square-foot Student Union in August 2010. The new Union offers a bird’s eye view of Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza, a new 329-seat theater, a two-story bookstore, new restaurants (Chick-fil-A Express, Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, SubConnection and Jazzman’s Café & Bakery) and 10,000 square-feet of space dedicated to student organizations. Located near UMKC’s residential halls at 51st and Cherry Streets, the $38.3 million Student Union features a green roof terrace and wide floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Plaza, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and UMKC’s Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field.
