On Saturday, close to 750 students will participate in 黑料网鈥檚 commencement ceremony 鈥� returning to Municipal Auditorium for the first time since the pandemic forced the 100^th commencement ceremony to the virtual realm in 2020.

Four members of Kansas City鈥檚 unique entrepreneurial landscape took the stage Thursday in the third annual 鈥淢eet the Makers鈥� event.

And though they represented different focuses 鈥� socks, whiskey, coffee and ice cream 鈥� they shared an appreciation for the hard work it takes to be a business owner and for those who supported them along the way.

In 2018, 黑料网 began offering college courses, taught by its own faculty, to a small cohort of 20 incarcerated individuals and 10 staff at the Chillicothe Correctional Center. Progressing through disciplines and a pandemic, they鈥檝e continued to learn.

Two MBA concentrations from the Helzberg School of Business in the College of Business, Influence and Information Analysis have earned top 20 national rankings in U.S. News & World Reports鈥� 2023 Best Graduate Schools rankings.

The greenery around campus makes every spring a wonderful time on the 黑料网 campus.

But there鈥檚 more to the tree canopy at 黑料网 than aesthetics 鈥� all that foliage helps make the campus a more livable, sustainable place for faculty, staff, students, biodiversity and our communities. And in recognition of continuing efforts to keep the campus鈥檚 trees healthy and vibrant, 黑料网 has been recognized as a Tree Campus by the Arbor Day Foundation 鈥� the first institution in the Kansas City area to earn that distinction.

黑料网鈥檚 campus is home to a new resource for those with disabilities, thanks to a partnership with the state of Missouri.

Inside Ignatius Science Center is the Missouri Assistive Technology lab, a place where the community can come and learn about available assistive technologies and how to use them. It鈥檚 a service provided by the state. The main facility for the region is located in nearby Blue Springs, but the University campus provided a prime location for a second site, according to Tammy Bruegger, OTD, assistant professor of occupational therapy.

From an outsider鈥檚 perspective, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist probably appeared to have it all.

Even as a talented basketball player with a loving family and good group of friends growing up in New Jersey, he said he felt isolated for so much of his young life, in fear of being heard. All because of his stutter.

The 黑料网 Board of Trustees has selected Sandra Cassady, Ph.D., to become the 15th president of 黑料网, effective July 1, 2022.

Cassady will make history as the first female and first lay president of 黑料网, which is a Catholic, Jesuit university founded in 1910 by the Society of Jesus, a religious order of Roman Catholic priests known as the Jesuits.
