The University of Kansas Edwards Campus will be at the heart, literally and figuratively, of this region's development. The continued growth and development of the Edwards Campus will have a great impact on this region. The community desires the research and scholarship of the University to provide support for policy, practice and technology transfer. The academic programs are not only highly respected but also urgently needed. KU has the ability not only to educate that talent and keep them in Kansas City, but also to be the reason companies choose Kansas City as home.
Accessibility is key.
The Edwards Campus offers the region the proximity to the highly respected research and academic programs of the University, becoming the bridge between the needs of Kansas City and the strengths of the Lawrence Campus. We educate for tomorrow. Twenty-five years ago, the teachers and researchers of the University of Kansas planted the seeds of possibility in the fertile ground that has become our successful alumni. Today, those former students are entrepreneurs, presidents of corporations and community service organizations, superintendents of school districts, and leaders in the development of civic, economic, and government policy. The seeds we plant at the Edwards Campus today will fortify the progress of our region and strengthen the impact that the faculty, research and programs of the University of Kansas has in its development for years to come.
