Fall Kick Off: Walking Wednesday x Place to Place

Join the Office of Student Success Leadership and Engagement (SSLE), the Office of Community and Civic Engagement (OCCE), and the Office of Sustainability for a special Fall Kick-Off: Walking Wednesday x Place to Place event!

We'll meet in front of the SMC Campus Center (621 W. Lombard St.) and walk through UMB's BioPark to OCCE's Community Engagement Center (CEC) located at 16 S. Poppleton St.

This collaborative event is an opportunity to connect with staff from SSLE, OCCE, and the Office of Sustainability while learning about programs, events, and opportunities planned for the 2026–2027 academic year.

Throughout the year, SSLE and OCCE will host "Place to Place" walks, bringing small groups from various points on campus to destinations across UMB's Westside and BioPark communities. The Office of Sustainability will also host Walking Wednesdays, encouraging wellness, connection, and exploration through guided walks. Join us to learn more about these initiatives and other ways to get involved on campus.

We're also excited to partner with Police and Public Safety for this event. Participants will have the opportunity to walk alongside Poe, UMB's Police Comfort K-9, and his handler, PFC Anthony Summer, while learning more about the resources and support Public Safety provides to the UMB community.

Come enjoy a walk, build new connections, discover campus resources, and kick off the academic year with community, engagement, and purpose!
