Cameras record suspects at Oak Street garage
Security cameras in UMKC's Oak Street parking garage recorded suspects breaking into cars last Wednesday morning. The suspects, a woman and two men, were in a dark-colored Suburban and a red Camaro or Firebird. Cameras recorded them breaking into cars and stealing purses, stereos and electronics.
The security cameras which tracked the thieves were installed after a series of break-ins in the parking garage last year.
Bloch School enrollment increases
Enrollment is up for the third year in a row at the Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration. Undergraduate enrollment for fall 2005 was 585, an 8 percent increase over last fall's enrollment.
Additionally, a market research company reported students gave UMKC high scores for individual attention, advising and connection to the community.
Many in the school credit these successes to the Living-Learning Community in Oak Street Residence Hall. The program acclimates new students through interaction with faculty and other students. Students in the program also tour area businesses.
The Bloch School plans to begin offering new subject majors in 2006 based on student input and other factors.
