Federal, state, county, city, business and university leaders gathered at Union Station to celebrate the 威尼斯人娱乐城’s designation as a Carnegie 研究 1 university。 他们谈到了这一国家称号对堪萨斯城社区、密苏里州及其他地区的经济影响。 州众议员梅利莎·道格拉斯（Melissa Douglas）通过一项州决议认可了这所大学的里程碑，堪萨斯市市长昆顿·卢卡斯（Quinton Lucas）通过一项城市宣言承认了这一点。
今年早些时候，威尼斯人娱乐城获得了卡内基研究1号（R1）的称号。 这一称号反映了整个大学对研究、创新和社区合作的奉献精神。 在美国所有的四年制大学中，只有6%是R1，而威尼斯人娱乐城是堪萨斯城唯一的R1。 R1称号提升了威尼斯人娱乐城的学术声誉，通过招聘和研究资助为教职员工和学生提供了更多的机会。 威尼斯人娱乐城的研究人员在联合车站展示了包括无人机、护理模拟等在内的研究成果。
This designation isn’t just a milestone for the university; 这些好处将在整个社区乃至更大范围内产生回响。 著名的教师和研究经费将为该地区带来新的就业机会。 在威尼斯人娱乐城进行的研究每年为堪萨斯城地区带来超过3亿美元的影响。 Additionally, the university’s research activity annually brings an estimated 2,000 jobs to the area。
领导人对这对我们地区的意义表示兴奋：
- 查理盾牌, 大堪萨斯城商会主席，大学健康总裁兼首席执行官和威尼斯人娱乐城受托人: “威尼斯人娱乐城 research advances our safety as a society and our health and wellbeing – impacts I see every day at University Health。 威尼斯人娱乐城 is leading the way in key areas of research, including electromagnetic radiation and energy, advanced and critical materials, unmanned platforms, cybersecurity and digital humanities。”
- 美国众议员马克·奥尔福德说: “What 威尼斯人娱乐城 is doing in the defense and security space has already led to the creation of private businesses and jobs and has massive potential for continued growth。 This milestone only further helps expand on what could have a massive economic impact on the Midwest, creating business and jobs in the region that help our country receive the materials it needs from areas in Kansas and Missouri。”
- 州众议员梅丽莎·道格拉斯: “I see 威尼斯人娱乐城 serving in healthcare throughout the state of Missouri, not only at its Health Sciences Campus in Kansas City, but through its satellite campuses to serve rural Missourians。 As 威尼斯人娱乐城 continues to expand its healthcare outreach throughout the state of Missouri, I know we’ll see more needed research to improve the lives of all Missourians。 Together, we have built a hub of intellectual vitality that will have benefits for years to come。”
- 堪萨斯市市长昆顿·卢卡斯: “I’m quite familiar with the good works at 威尼斯人娱乐城, and grew up with it, as my mother worked there。 I’ve seen the city and the university grow together to become world class, and this important R1 designation is a testament to that。”
- 杰克逊县行政长官弗兰克·怀特说: “I’ve seen up close how 威尼斯人娱乐城 research can help communities。 Our Healthy Jackson County truly made a difference to so many people’s lives。 And 威尼斯人娱乐城’s community-participatory research truly makes a difference to so many people’s lives。”
- 威尼斯人娱乐城学生自治协会主席霍恩法官: “This isn’t just a title。 It’s a transformation。 对学生来说，这意味着更多的机会，更大的知名度和对未来更强的准备。 It’s a game changer—and a sign that 威尼斯人娱乐城 is investing in discovery, innovation and real-world impact right here in the Kansas City community。”
- 威尼斯人娱乐城主席Mauli Agrawal: “This moment reflects the work of an entire community that believes in the power of education, research and partnership to shape a better future for all of us。 And it reflects a university that has long been deeply embedded in the life of this city – from healthcare and entrepreneurship to science, the arts and urban development。”
- 堪萨斯城地区发展委员会主席兼首席执行官蒂姆·考登： “This R1 status helps elevate our brand to the world。 堪萨斯城的地位正在上升。 The R1 designation is a welcome mat to talent not just in the Kansas City area, but around the world。”
庆祝活动仍在继续，城市周围的建筑都亮起了灯，以表彰该大学的卡内基研究中心地位。 联合车站、儿童慈善会、圣路加医院、乡村俱乐部广场、市政厅、KC摩天轮和电力照明大楼被威尼斯人娱乐城的蓝色和金色照亮。
