The position is hot off the press and not yet posted but if you know of anyone who you think might be a viable candidate, have them drop me an email/give me a call (contact info at bottom of email).

Dear Professor Heimovics

I just wanted to let you know I was looking through “Important Information” and noticed the date for the first assessment lists the date as 10/3 instead of 10/13 as it is listed in the calendar.  Its pretty obvious which one is correct since we do not have class on Mondays but thought I’d let you know about the typo.

Thanks, Trevor

As news reports continue to update us on the devastation brought by Hurricane Katrina, our UMKC community joins others in offering assistance to people driven out of the Gulf Coast region by this disaster.

UMKC is currently assisting Kansas City area students affected by the closing of the region’s colleges and universities. The Admissions Office has enrolled some students and is expecting to assist more during the next few days. Each of our academic units is providing advisors for the students.

 Many of you may know Kansas City students whose college plans have been disrupted by this disaster. We hope you will let these students know that UMKC has established a process to quickly enroll them for this fall semester. They may call Joan Belt, Assistant Director of Admissions, at 816-235-1202.

UMKC is also preparing additional ways to assist Hurricane Katrina victims. A list of these activities will be posted at http://www.umkc.edu.

For updates, please visit our website for the next several days.

Information about UM system’s response to Hurricane Katrina can be found at http://www.umsystem.edu/ums/news/releases/news05090101.shtml.

Edward A. Smith Urban Leadership Internship Program

Information for Students

 

WHO

Any Junior, Senior, MBA, and MPA student currently enrolled at The Bloch School for fall and/or winter term. Two Bloch students will be selected for the 2006 program, which will run from January-April, 2006. 

WHAT

This unique new program at Bloch is designed to:

§         Increase students’ self-reflection and insights regarding personal, career, and leadership development; and

§         Increase students’ perspective on civic and community challenges and the role of social responsibility, whether preparing for a business or a public administration career.

 The program has three components:

1.      Self-reflection

Diagnostic tools, journaling, bi-weekly contact with a Bloch faculty mentor, and accomplishments as an intern in a non-profit work experience will help the student gain insights about personal strengths and the rewards of civic/community service.

2.      Full-time, Paid Internship

A full-time, twelve-week paid internship will be provided at a non-profit, community, or government organization. The 40 hour/week internship will have:

-          A tangible project with specific objectives.

-          Engaged and committed supervision by the organization.

-          An engaged and committed Bloch faculty sponsor.

-          A stipend of $4000-$6000 for the 12-week period.

The internship will carry one to three credit hours (determined by the student) and be designated as an independent study; this should be used as an elective credit. 

3.      Final Assignment

A presentation and a six to eight page paper will be required at the conclusion of the Internship. The paper will explore the student’s insights from the internship work experience and the self-reflection vehicles, and it will detail the accomplishments and personal growth the student has experienced. The presentation will summarize these thoughts.

HOW

A completed application  is due September 30, 2005.

Selection of two students will be made by November 15, 2005.
