Why I CARE

I CARE because I think there is always a place for respect and empathy in the workplace. 

How do you show CARE in your day-to-day work at UIS?

When making decisions that affect other people and units, it is not always a cut-and-dry decision. By using these tools from the CARE framework, I believe that it boosts morale and gives colleagues a sense that this decision was well thought out.

What is CARE?

CARE, our foundation for working with others, guides UIS employees to foster a student-centered experience where every individual feels valued, supported and connected. This framework reinforces our Prairie Star commitment to academic and community excellence through integrity, respect and empathy, embedded into daily interactions.
