These talented teens took on projects in historic preservation, urban gardening, Mt. Clare vacant housing, and merchant access in Southwest Partnership neighborhoods w/ guidance of leaders from UMB and the neighborhoods. Congrats everyone!

In a letter today to UMB, President Jay A. Perman, MD, tells the University community that it's easy to champion love over hate. "What's harder is the work we undertake every day in our community to show what love looks like, to secure equality and enact justice, to defend the principles on which this country was founded and which it struggles still to honor."
