First Gen Roo Scholars

In 2022, UMKC launched its fourth year of the First Gen Roo Scholars (FGR) program. FGR aims to support incoming first-generation college students (FGCS) to decrease gaps in retention and GPA, while also bolstering this population’s sense of community and integration on campus. As students whose parents or guardians did not receive a bachelor's degree in the United States, our scholars represent a diverse range of academic majors, financial need, and intersecting identities. Considering the specific experiences, skills, and values first-generation college students bring to the university makes education more equitable and possible for all students and empowers them to further contribute to UMKC. Our fall 2021 cohort achieved an average GPA of 3.25 and a 100% retention rate into spring semester, which far exceeded their non-FGR peers. Receiving an award through UMKC’s Giving Day would allow us to support additional scholars ($1,000 per student) in our 2023-2024 cohort. These scholars are then more likely to invest in the mentorship of future first-generation college students – on average, half (50%) of our peer mentors were FGR participants themselves. Donations to First Gen Roo Scholars ultimately supports retention, diversity, and community on UMKC’s campus.

The Don Quixote murals by Luis Quintanilla have been a treasured part of the university for over 80 years. They have been part of the college experience for thousands of our students over that time. Please help us preserve these murals for the next generations. Those donating will be invited to future Volker Campus art walks, which will feature the murals as well as many of UMKC's other public artworks.

Don Quixote in the Modern World restorationOn the second-floor lobby of UMKC’s Haag Hall resides one of the world’s great art treasures. In 1940-1941, Spanish artist and political refugee Luis Quintanilla came to the University of Kansas City as an artist in residence. He left behind a series of murals in his unique style that depicted a retelling of Don Quixote in the “modern world” of 1940s America. They convey a powerful message about America’s quixotic attitude towards the war and the dangers of fascism that was ravaging Europe. Quintanilla used the university’s own students, faculty, and staff as the models for his work. These murals represent the largest surviving work of Quintanilla, whose many public murals were destroyed during the Second World War. They are a priceless treasure. It has been nearly 30 years since conservation work was last performed on the murals. In that time, colors have faded, spots have worn thin, and chips have fallen from the plaster. We are asking for the funds to help preserve this treasure for future generations. Moreover, we seek funds to help the university provide education and interpretation for the murals through signage.Restoration and Preservation: $2000Interpretive Signage: $500

Don Quixote in the Modern World restorationOn the second-floor lobby of UMKC’s Haag Hall resides one of the world’s great art treasures. In 1940-1941, Spanish artist and political refugee Luis Quintanilla came to the University of Kansas City as an artist in residence. He left behind a series of murals in his unique style that depicted a retelling of Don Quixote in the “modern world” of 1940s America. They convey a powerful message about America’s quixotic attitude towards the war and the dangers of fascism that was ravaging Europe. Quintanilla used the university’s own students, faculty, and staff as the models for his work. These murals represent the largest surviving work of Quintanilla, whose many public murals were destroyed during the Second World War. They are a priceless treasure. It has been nearly 30 years since conservation work was last performed on the murals. In that time, colors have faded, spots have worn thin, and chips have fallen from the plaster. We are asking for the funds to help preserve this treasure for future generations. Moreover, we seek funds to help the university provide education and interpretation for the murals through signage.Restoration and Preservation: $2000Interpretive Signage: $500
