UMKC Residential Life

Congratulations to the UMKC Class of 2026 Spring Graduates! 🎓

The Department of Residential Life could not be more proud of everything you have accomplished. From your first day on campus to crossing that stage, you have shown incredible dedication, resilience, and heart.

It has been our privilege to be a part of your journey and to call these halls your home. As you move forward into the next chapter, know that you will always have a place in the Roo family.

Wishing you nothing but success, happiness, and great things ahead. Congratulations — you earned it!

Spring is here, Roo! 🌸☀️

Time to unwind, explore, and recharge for what’s ahead. Whether you’re traveling or staying local, make the most of your well-deserved break! 💙✨

Missouri’s severe weather season can begin as early as February and continue through September. Tornadoes can form quickly, which is why it’s important for UMKC residents to stay informed and prepared.

A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes. Stay alert, monitor weather updates, and be ready to move to a safe shelter area.

A Tornado Warning means a tornado has been spotted or detected by radar. Move immediately to the lowest level of your building, go to an interior hallway or room away from windows, and protect your head and neck.

Residents should also watch for emergency alerts on their phones and stay informed through weather updates. Scan the QR code on the flyer for additional guidance and consider downloading the Wunderground app for real-time weather updates.

Your safety is our priority. Stay prepared and stay safe, Roos. 💙💛

🌙 Ramadan Meal-Equivalency Program | UMKC Dining

UMKC Dining is supporting students observing Ramadan through the Ramadan Meal-Equivalency Program. Students can use one meal swipe per day at Smart Market to receive a meal package designed to help prepare for fasting.

Meal packages may include items such as water, breakfast pastries or Nutri-Grain bars, fruits and dates, and protein options like boiled eggs or trail mix.

This initiative helps ensure students have accessible and convenient food options during Ramadan. We wish everyone observing a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.
