Calling all alumni

Help mark our 50th year by sending us your favorite pictures and/or memories of your time at UMKC’s School of Medicine. We will share them on social media as part of our Throwback Thursday (TBT) campaign, the social-media trend of posting photographs or recollections from the past each Thursday. We can’t wait to see the images and hear your stories of life as a med student at UMKC (and maybe laugh a bit at the fashions over the years).

 

Send them to Kelly Edwards at edwardske@umkc.edu; then take a trip down memory lane by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
