Dear Faculty and Staff —

It is that time in the year when the number of people struggling with their mental health typically increases. Common themes include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Though these struggles are often expressed at the individual level, they often arise from systemic issues in our environment and culture. We all have an opportunity to create a supportive environment for learning and growth.

We still have spots open to register for next week's Know Your U trip to Emiquon Nature Preserve on October 23rd! Our schedule has us departing the university at 9am and returning at approximately 3:30pm. 

The annual fire drills for this year will be conducted on Thursday, October 31, and Friday, November 1 for the UIS campus. Please pay special attention to your building assembly points as some have been revised for the ease of assembly by location.

Yaz Gulnur Muradoglu is a professor in the College of Business and Management.

Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?

Dear UIS Family,

Welcome to the beginning of a new semester at UIS! 

It has been a pleasure meeting so many of our new UIS community members and seeing some familiar faces as we begin our Fall 2024 semester.
