Dear Faculty & Staff —

Following President Killeen’s June 25 announcement, this message confirms the 1% merit-based salary program for the 2025-26 academic year. The 1% merit-based salary program is to be distributed at the discretion of the unit head. Division heads will identify the unit head for each area based on operational responsibility.

Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.

During the week of July 14, we will be upgrading the Human Resources Building.

During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.

I was a full-time online student at UIS. It was a great experience. The teachers and staff made it a good experience being online full-time in addition to working full-time.I was a writer for the UIS Observer during my last semester at UIS.

I received the Star Student Volunteer award my senior year at UIS.
