Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am thrilled to share the official results from last year’s Faculty and Staff Campaign. Thank you to thank for making it one for the record books!

Thanks to your generosity and spirit, we achieved a record-breaking 55.04% participation rate—the highest in campaign history! Together, we raised $244,939 from 426 employee donors, supporting 111 programs, scholarships, and initiatives that make UIS such a special place to learn, work, and grow.

Dear Faculty and Staff:

We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence, and it is reshaping higher education, the workforce and society at large. As AI continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, it is critical that we work together to thoughtfully integrate AI into our university’s operations, teaching and research. This is not just a technical challenge; it’s a strategic opportunity to align innovation with our mission, vision and values.
