Millions hear about UIS

Millions of people throughout the nation have now heard of UIS thanks to a two-part report this week on National Public Radio. NPR Correspondent Larry Abramson interviewed several UIS faculty and students for the report about online learning and teaching. He decided to visit UIS after learning about the national award this university received in October for institution-wide excellence in online learning and teaching programming from the Sloan Consortium. Abramson was impressed with what he found at UIS. You can listen to or read the report at the UIS Online website. I want to thank all of our faculty and staff involved in online programming for helping put UIS in the national forefront of online education.
