We celebrated the renovated Atterbury Student Success Center today, marking a $20 million investment in our students' futures that brings advising, enrollment, financial wellness, career services and other resources together. It's now easier than ever for Roos to get answers and prepare for meaningful careers!

A winning combination! @Chiefs awarded Chiefs Kingdom Spirit Scholarships to 10 UMKC students, who stepped onto the field, met Clark Hunt and watched the game. For some, it was their first Arrowhead visit!

For Trice Burkes, service didn’t end when he left the Army. It simply took a new form. At the UMKC At Ease Zone, he’s helping student veterans navigate college, connect with resources and find community at a university that has earned Military Friendly® Gold status for three years in a row.

Roo loyalty looks good on KC. Last week, ROOS MOBB returned for our fourth collaboration with alumni-owned streetwear brand @MADEMOBB. Alongside the latest drop, shoppers explored products from UMKC alumni-owned businesses and local vendors, a reminder that Roo pride extends well beyond campus. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and showed love!

Roo pride was on full display at UMKC Night at @SportingKC! From pre‑match festivities and the chancellor’s ceremonial coin flip to a halftime performance from the Kansas City Dance Team and recognition of our No. 3 nationally ranked @KCRoosMSoccer, it was a fantastic night cheering on Kansas City! 💙⚽

For Nam Pham, the college routine includes a few extra obstacles. Nam is a UMKC Bloch student balancing data analytics, accounting and everything else that comes with college, while also competing on American Ninja Warrior! 🥷 You can catch Nam on American Ninja Warrior Season 18, Episodes 7, 9 and 10, representing the Central Region. And he's not done yet. He'll be back on Season 19 next summer!

UMKC retweeted
Can AI predict who will be rearrested? And should we trust it if it can? New research from UMKC School of Law associate professor Ryan Copus, J.D., Ph.D., and UC Davis researcher Hannah Laqueur, Ph.D., found that LLMs outperformed a statistical model trained on more than 4,000 cases and made predictions closer to the actual outcome in 59% of parole hearings. But there’s a catch: AI may get the answer right without being able to reliably explain why. For Copus, that tension is exactly why AI literacy matters. “Equipping our students with the ability to use AI to aid their own decision-making is critical to modern legal education. But I also want them to understand the failure modes. AI literacy is now a core part of almost all of my classes."
