We have added some new content to sites that you may have noticed. The PR team has been working hard to add student profiles for each of the academic areas. OWS has added Featured Student pages to the Academic sites to showcase of the great students we have at UIS. You can add more featured students to your page as well! If you need information on how to do so, visit the How to Create a News Article or Featured Profile tutorial.

Hello, UIS! 

Thanks so much to everyone who welcomed students to campus last week and to those who taught classes on Friday for our official first day. It’s so exciting to see the campus come alive! Please don’t forget: Our welcome-back activities continue this week. The Welcome Picnic is 4-6 p.m. today outside of the Student Union. It’s a great opportunity to mix and mingle with your colleagues and to show students our Prairie Star pride. Please come out and celebrate with us!

Greetings, students!

Below is some important information for students regarding COVID-19 testing and vaccination policy compliance.
