To UIS Civil Service Employees:

Feeling Ducky? Ready to go duck wild?

Get ready to put your ducktective skills to work with the UIS campus-wide duck hunt! From Monday, October 27, at 8:00 AM through Friday, October 31, at 3:00 PM, the hunt is on—unless all the ducks are rescued sooner. Winners will be announced after 3:00 PM on Halloween (because what is spookier than a duck with a QR code?).
