Dear UIS Community,

The University of Illinois Springfield Police Department wants to alert you to a recent fraudulent phone scam targeting members of the surrounding community. These scams involve callers falsely identifying themselves as law enforcement officials from surrounding jurisdictions and claiming the recipient is involved in an ongoing criminal investigation and/or legal matter.

In each reported case, the caller attempts to coerce the victim into making a monetary payment to avoid arrest or being named as a suspect in a fictitious investigation.

The University of Illinois Springfield has named Jill Wilberg as its new vice chancellor for finance and administration, effective June 16. She will serve in a designate capacity pending formal approval by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees.The vice chancellor for finance and administration is a key leadership position responsible for overseeing budget and financial planning, human resources, access and equity, grants and contracts, purchasing, facilities, the Performing Arts Center and campus safety.

Please be advised that the UIS Public Affairs Center (PAC) Plumbing Infrastructure Repair Project has started. Therefore, the teardrop entrance to PAC is closed for the duration of this work.

During this time, SMTD bus service will only stop at the bus shelter next to Founders Residence Hall, located at Eliza Farnham and Vachel Lindsay Drive.

Your patience and understanding are very much appreciated.
