Why UIS? "My professors know me"

I was talking to a parent last week. He told me his daughter is having a great experience at UIS. "She knows her professors, and they know her," he said -- and so she gets a lot of great attention and assistance. This is one of the most common responses when I ask people about their UIS education -- the small classes and close interaction with the professors. It's real. It's not a marketing statement, not a cliche. That's what makes it so special at UIS.
