Campus Community,

The UIS Police Department will be conducting a brief lockdown test of the swipe card door access system from 8:45am until approximately 9:00am on Thursday, November 16.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  This test will not include any testing of the audible notification systems.  If you have any additional considerations that may require access to swipe card doors during these times, please contact our department in advance via e-mail or phone.

At the start of term, we spend a lot of energy planning the first interactions of a course and setting our students up for successful learning – introductions, building community, and understanding outcomes and expectations. Our choices at the end of the term are just as important. Summarizing, reflection, and making connections to the bigger picture are critical for long-term transfer of learning, or applying learning from one situation to a completely different context.  

UIS Campus Senate will meet on Friday, November 17, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM in P PAC 160, Community Room (formerly known as C/D).

The agenda can be found here: https://uofi.box.com/s/jhfwakkoi8adjq2cxp79s0zhwoeknimu. If an expected document is missing from the links provided, please notify CampusSenate@uis.edu as soon as possible.

The Evelyn Zimmerman Scholarship program made possible through a generous $18,000 gift from the estate of Evelyn Zimmerman, is designed to support and honor students who are dedicated to the field of Public Health. Mrs. Evelyn Zimmerman's philanthropic legacy has a strong connection to the spirit of nursing in outreach, and her vision for supporting education in Public Health is at the heart of these scholarships. Her gift has created an immense opportunity for students in the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at UIS.
