Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —

We have just completed an exceptionally successful Fall 2021 semester. A quick look at the numbers clearly shows how important being a highly vaccinated campus was for moving us closer to the campus experience we all miss and want.

A new bill filed in the Illinois House of Representatives on Monday calls for college tuition to be covered for future police officers, but there are strict requirements.

It’s a similar model to that of the military.

The Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation (ILBCF) and University of Illinois Springfield will convene its fourth speaker series session which will be on ILBCF's Pillar III, which focuses on eliminating the Black community's barriers to economic access, equity and opportunity.

Jose Rodriguez-Stahr of Thayer, a 2017 graduate of Reavis High School in Burbank, Illinois, has been admitted to the University of Illinois Springfield for Fall Semester 2022 and awarded a $4,000 Lincoln Merit Scholarship for tuition over two years. At UIS, he will major in pre-nursing.

The scholarship is awarded based on high school GPA and can be renewed for a total of four years if the student maintains college GPA requirements.

In high school, he played football and was on the wrestling and track teams.
