Enhancing Faculty StrengthsTo continue building an excellent faculty, we need support for additional named endowed professorships. These professorships help us attract faculty at the top of their fields, adding to our already excellent faculty and staff.
We want to support our current faculty through additional research and scholarship opportunities at both the both graduate and undergraduate levels. Faculty need to stay current in their field so that they can continue to provide stellar information and preparation to our students. They also need an opportunity to share their own research and experience with others.
Unfortunately our funds to send them to conferences is limited. Ten faculty applied study awards will pay travel expenses to national conferences, helping our faculty model best practices for our students in teaching, scholarship, and service.
Please help us increase our faculty’s regional leadership; your support is critical.

We'd love to hear your story. What would you say to someone contemplating the program? How would you encourage donors to give? What have you appreciated most about the program? Please send your comments to Marilyn Kok, mkok2@uis.edu. We would love to add more graduates' comments to this site.
We look forward to hearing from you.
