After the Gala, the Founders Week celebration continued on Monday, Oct. 15, with the Staff Luncheon at Westminster Hall. About 600 staff members were served hors d’oeuvres by University leadership before entering the hall for sandwiches, salads, desserts, and more. Perman greeted the staff members and took the microphone to thank them for “your incredible dedication, knowledge, and efforts. I’m incredibly proud of all that UMB accomplishes in the neighborhood, in the state, and in the world. But I never forget for a minute that none of what we do would happen without your support.”
