Dear Faculty and Staff —

I am pleased to share that we are close to completing the interview process with potential interim provost candidates to fill an approximate six-month term while we conduct a national search for our next permanent provost. I wanted to provide the opportunity for faculty and staff to share their thoughts regarding the areas in which the interim provost should focus during their brief time with us.

On December 13, 2022, UIS will be implementing 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to better protect both you and the university from unauthorized access to your personal data stored in the university's enterprise systems. UIS will be requiring a second layer of security to access your University account making it difficult for an unauthorized person to access your information. 2FA provides better account protection than merely using a password.
