Segment 2, beginning at 22:56: Meet the new dean of student life at UMKC.

UMKC has a reputation as a "commuter school" where the majority of students live off campus. But with new dorms and a student union, the university has made a lot of investments in campus life. As a new school year begins, we learn what goes into creating a thriving student life on campus.
