Dear Faculty and Staff, 

I am excited to introduce a new website for our strategic visioning initiative, NorthStar.

NorthStar is our guide to operationalizing the Strategic Compass as we seek to position UIS to be a more resilient, adaptable and market-aligned academic institution through strategic, action-focused priorities. This site will be built out further as we make progress on our action items.

Our NorthStar priorities for AY24-25 are:

Hometown: Cave-In-Rock, IllinoisMajor: MBA in Human Resources Management Future Plans: Become a crime scene investigator

Emma Mott values the close-knit community at University of Illinois Springfield, which has helped her form lasting friendships. Mott is the vice president of Women of Distinction and a student worker at the Student Union. She chose UIS because of the scholarship accessibility. Following graduation, she plans to attend the police academy and pursue a career as a crime scene investigator.

International Education Week (IEW) is promoted by the US Department of State and the US Department of Education. Both departments suggest it to be from November 18 to 22 this year. The aims are to prepare Americans for a global environment and to attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. Our excellent offices and departments on campus support the initiative with providing events related to international education.

Good afternoon! 

Copyleaks just notified UIS that they will release an updated version of their AI detection model on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. 

It’s time to start planning your 2025 Academic Summer Camp! 

The University of Illinois Springfield hosts academic summer camps each year to help area high school students explore career options, gain practical skills through hands-on learning and have an unforgettable summer experience.  All of our camps are taught by our world-class faculty, and we are open to applications.
