Dear Students, Faculty and Staff —
I am certain that last night’s deadly mass shooting on the Michigan State University campus is weighing heavily on the hearts and minds of our UIS community. I join my colleagues from throughout higher education in expressing my deepest sympathy to the MSU students, faculty and staff, and especially to the victims’ loved ones.

Good afternoon:
I hope everyone enjoyed the dose of sunshine we got this weekend! I was glad to be back in Springfield last week following a busy three days in Chicago the prior week for Board of Trustees activities. This week is the Investiture at 2 p.m. Wednesday, and I’m so grateful to everyone who is working hard to make this a special event.
