Dear Faculty and Staff,

I would like to invite you to the Spring Employee Information Session at 3 p.m. March 4 in Brookens Auditorium. During this session, you will hear from me and other UIS leaders about updates on our NorthStar strategic priorities as well as other important news and issues affecting UIS.

Please be aware that Parking Lot E will be closed on Monday, February 24, so that school children may safely enter the UIS Performing Arts Center for the Staley Class Acts performance The Giver.

Thank you.
