Future Partnerships
Sustainability is partnering with Police and Public Safety to walk with Poe, UMB's police comfort K-9, and his handler, PFC Anthony Summer. Poe and PFC Anthony Summer will be joining walks once a month starting in June 2025 and will be sharing safety tips for around campus.
Past Partnerships
Sustainability has partnered with Launch Your Life for Indoor Walking Wednesdays which ran from February 2025 to the end of April 2025. 50 participants were given free URecFit memberships with access to the track in the gym. The group met twice a month and walked around the track; however, members were able to access the track at any time.
Purpose
To connect the UMB community to other people on campus who they may not normally engage with. To tie the UMB Core Values of Well-Being and Sustainability together.
Alignment with Strategic Plan
Education and Engagement: Create and maintain a constant communication flow with the entire campus community regarding sustainability.
