The UIS Athletic Department proudly recognizes members of the Class of 2025 who are affiliated with Prairie Stars Athletics. This year's group includes seniors and graduate students who exhausted their athletic eligibility, former student-athletes who returned to complete their academic journey at UIS, individuals who will remain on campus to pursue further education while continuing to compete, and assistant coaches from multiple programs.

UIS Athletics congratulates our newest alumni and celebrates all they have achieved both in competition and in the classroom. These graduates have represented the Prairie Stars with integrity, resilience and pride—leaving a lasting legacy within their teams and across campus.

UIS held its commencement ceremonies on May 9-10. A full list of graduates and photo galleries from the events are available online.
