Greetings,
What’s your favorite UIS tradition or event?
The Rising Stars program, which brings new UIS employees together through a variety of activities, stands out as a particularly meaningful experience. I also value the Employee Development Series and the many other training opportunities UIS offers, as they highlight the university’s commitment to supporting and investing in its employees. I enjoy taking advantage of these programs whenever possible.
