Greetings Campus Community,

The roofing contractor will have a crane on site on Friday, Sept. 19 to remove roofing debris off of Founders Residence Hall. The crane will be positioned on the west side of Founders, just off Eliza Farnham Drive. The bus stop on that corner will remain open and accessible. The red rectangle on the included image indicates the approximate location for the crane.

Please use caution if you need to travel near the residence hall. Construction zones and equipment placement areas will be marked to assist with navigation and ensure safety.

Living in a residence hall in college creates a positive experience for students as they learn and make connections with their peers. Unfortunately, it also means that germs can spread more easily. Staying healthy while in college requires developing good habits. UIS offers a lot of support and resources to keep you thriving throughout the semester. Let’s talk about what dorm disease is, how to prevent it and the services provided on campus to make you feel better sooner.

We hope you will be able to join in celebrating this year’s University Scholars Award recipient on Wednesday, September 24.

If you plan to attend and have not yet registered, please do so by end of day Friday, September 19, so we can finalize event details.

UIS faculty and staff are invited to honor this year's recipient of the prestigious University Scholars Award.

The following are major site prepation and construction priorities for Library Commons each month.

On Saturday, September 20, the UIS Office of Advancement is hosting the UIS Alumni Gala at the Student Union.
