What's New: Illuminated flag poles

Illuminated flag polesA Gift that Honors
William R. and Mary Traylor Schnirring

Long-time friends of UIS, whose support has been so important to UIS' success, the Schnirrings received a special acknowledgement from children and grandchildren.

Earlier this year, the Schnirring's daughter and son-in-law called UIS, inquiring about how they might honor their parents.

Their gift: lights to illuminate the flags that stand outside UIS' Public Affairs Center.

It was a "perfect fit," according to Vicki Megginson, Associate Chancellor for Development at UIS. The Schnirrings own Springfield Electric.
