Naomi Britton, B.A. in Psychology, '18

"My program motivated me to become the best person I can be. It inspired me to follow my dreams and only let the sky be my limit! It made me more excited to continue my education.

I’ve learned that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. College has shown me that my mind and abilities are exponential as long as there is effort and passion in it."

Felix Makachia, master's degree in social work

"The way the faculty supported me as an international student encouraged me not just to feel like a student but part of the program. There were times when I felt lost until I started asking questions, but when I did, I asked 1,000 questions and got 1,002 answers from faculty."

Kelsey Richardson, research psychology, '16

"The teachers here work very hard to guide you through your courses. The students I have become close friends with are truly inspiring — so many dreams and different stories about what they want to do and what they want to be. They are the heart of UMKC."

Dylan Burd, Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration

"My favorite thing — and I realized this very quickly — was the diversity on campus."
