Large-scale events will be held virtually during the Fall 2020 semester. While we miss seeing you in person, we cannot put the health of our loyal alumni and friends at risk. We are not foregoing these events: We are shifting to online formats, and invite you to participate in as many gatherings as you can from the safety of your home or office.

Alumni Events

Events are a great way for alumni to stay current with what’s going on at UIS. There are many virtual ways to stay active with your alma mater.

If you have questions about any of the following events, please contact our office at advancement@uis.edu or 217-206-6058.
