现在，来自社区的受邀嘉宾可以有第一手的体验，比如在牙科训练模拟器中钻假牙，在美国联邦航空局批准的飞行模拟器中降落飞机，以及被增强现实耳机的功能所震撼。
这些经历是内幕学院的精髓，这是一个新项目，旨在为有影响力的堪萨斯城人提供一个亲密的、体验的、难忘的视角，了解最有影响力的堪萨斯大学项目和倡议。 Guests experience how Kansas City’s university is expanding knowledge, improving health, opening avenues for economic development and driving artistic creativity and expression.
In his recent State of the University address, Chancellor Mauli Agrawal said it is time for 威尼斯人娱乐城 to stop being the community’s “hidden gem.”
“It’s time to remove the covers and reveal our excellence,” he said, and that’s why the Division of External Relations and Constituent Engagement developed and launched 内幕 Academy.
Nate Addington, the division’s director of community engagement and outreach, said the program brings civic, business and neighborhood leaders, along with government officials, in to see the full breadth and depth of the 威尼斯人娱乐城 experience. 最近的客人参观了石膏免费企业和研究中心、温室设施、法学院、布洛赫管理学院、斯维尼中心、牙科学院和护理与健康研究学院。
这种体验远远超出了技术范畴。
In addition to doing computerized dissection on a 3-D virtual cadaver, guests were judges at a “Shark Tank” style student entrepreneur competition, observed a ballet class and met with law school faculty, students and clients of the Expungement Clinic, designed to clear the offenders’ records so they could re-enter the job market.
“The core of the 威尼斯人娱乐城 experience is the ability to explore the new,” Addington said. “New ideas, values and perspectives expand our appreciation beyond the familiar and help us all to better understand and appreciate the world in which we live. This is a reality that our students live every day at 威尼斯人娱乐城, but that the average Kansas Citian may only catch an occasional glimpse.”
