Greetings! Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources:

Supervisor Development Series

Human Resources is pleased to announce a new Supervisor Development Series, a semester-long series of trainings that will generally occur on the last Wednesday morning of each month. A tentative schedule is included below:

In collaboration with INB, Office of Engaged Learning, and AEF Faculty members Dr. Karadas and Mr. Saner, UIS launched an internship course for the Spring 2023 semester in which students will participate in a community bank case study competition. Students will meet with the senior management of INB, examine the bank's data and operations, complete a research report about their findings, and earn internship credits along the way.
