The UIS Division of Advancement nurtures relationships with alumni, friends and the campus community to encourage support for UIS students, programs and the university environment. We work with the UIS Alumni Board to strengthen ties among our alumni, the UIS community and the many local and global communities touched by our alumni. We do this through alumni programs, events like the Lunch & Learn series, alumni awards and recognition, alumni networks and groups and providing ways to connect with other UIS alumni. During the month of March, the annual Faculty and Staff Campaign encourages and celebrates employee giving through a variety of means, including a Crowdfunding campaign for participating units.
