Dear UIS Community:

While many of our students are enjoying summer break, the important work across our university continues. From expanding international partnerships to recognizing outstanding employees and preparing for the months ahead, this month's update showcases the many ways our faculty and staff are shaping the future of UIS.

However, as you move through college, you learn how to navigate challenges and find your place. As a first-generation student, I often felt lost and unsure, especially at the beginning of my college journey.
