Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —

I am writing to update you that UIS will not be offering on-site Shield COVID-19 testing after June 29. This includes testing for both the public and the university community. 

We are pleased to announce that pronouns can now be included on nameplates for faculty and staff. Signage standards have been amended to include pronouns below the name - see the photo at the right for a sample nameplate appearance.

All other standards remain in place, including the preclusion of professional designations, certifications, name prefixes, etc. in order to maintain adequate font size for readability and a consistent image campus-wide.

Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —

I am writing to update you that UIS will not be offering on-site Shield COVID-19 testing after June 29. This includes testing for both the public and the university community. 

Beginning July 1st, UIS CareerConnect will be powered by Handshake. This is a vendor change that will impact both students and employees who either hire students or support students’ career development via jobs, internships, and career exploration assistance. Invitations for students and employees who hire students to join the new system will be coming at the end of June/early July.

The Shield COVID-19 testing site is closed today, June 20, due to a laboratory closure. The site will reopen at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 21.
