Happy Monday, UIS!

And what a Monday it is. Due to icy conditions, in-person classes have been canceled today, and the Liberal Leave Policy is in effect. Many employees are working remotely today, so please check with departments ahead of time before planning to visit in person. Please note that Food Service is in operation today but may have limited options. 

My sincere thanks to the employees who are working hard to keep campus warm and safe today.
