Something More at KUMC

“Our staff is proud to make a positive difference. By offering ‘Something More’, we strive to enhance the lives of our faculty, staff, and students. ‘Something More’ is about improving our processes, offering programs of relevance and importance to the campus community, and extending entertainment dollars through discounts and events. Perhaps most important, ‘Something More’ is our way of saying that KUMC is a great place to work. Join us and make a difference in your corner of KUMC!”

Our first annual Employee Appreciation Week was a huge success! We had over 20 departments participate; many of which went above and beyond what we expected! Thank you for taking the opportunity to show the employees you work with each and every day how much you appreciate their efforts. And to show you how much we appreciate your participation, the top three most creative departments will receive awards.

First place goes to...(drum roll please) Information Resources. They will receive a Pizza Party! Second place goes to SOM Finance and Accounting, who will receive a continental breakfast! Third place goes to Payroll, who will receive a variety of decadent desserts!

Please check out our website to view all the departments who participated and some great pictures! Thank you again for making KUMC a great place to work!
