Greetings Campus Community,

The water has been shut off to all floors of PAC Tower 2 due to an unexpected plumbing problem discovered this afternoon. Our crews are actively working on repairs.

Please note that Towers 1 and 3 are not affected, and their restrooms remain available for use.

We will share an update as soon as we have more information on the resolution timeline.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Dear colleagues —

The search for the UIS Assistant Vice Chancellor for Human Resources has yielded two finalists. They will be visiting campus for interviews Nov. 18 and 20. 

An open forum will take place for interested faculty and staff to attend and learn more about each of the candidates. A Zoom link is available for each forum, but in-person attendance is strongly encouraged. Participants on Zoom will be able to ask questions via the chat function only.

A gift of any amount will give hope to those in need in Illinois and around the world. For information about the SECA campaign and to find a list of participating charities, visit our SECA website. To make a gift (payroll deduction or check/money order), please access the donor form. For questions, contact Erica Michael at emich1@uis.edu. Thank you for your participation!
