KCURE Fellows Cohort
KCURE Fellows include both MCC and UMKC civil or mechanical engineering students who engage with and support each other in their shared classes and a variety of KCURE events. Our first KCURE Fellows graduated from UMKC in May 2022! Congratulations to Jennifer Arms, Dan Caron, Jade O’Connell, and Emma Youngs. Two more of our fellows, Drake Smith and Samual Sisk, will graduate in May 2023.
