This winter there will be times after a significant snowfall where Facilities & Services will need your help as they work to clear parking lots of snow. The university’s overall goal is to provide the UIS community with safe and accessible parking after a significant snowfall. Working together, we can make this happen by implementing a “Snow Parking Day” after a significant snowfall.
All faculty and staff are invited to a Holiday Happy Hour from 4-5 on December 19 in the Student Union Ballroom. There will be music, drinks and appetizers to celebrate the season! Release time will be in effect for this event. To help us plan for the festivities, please register using the link below.
UIS Campus Senate will meet on Friday, December 8, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM in PAC 160, Community Room (formerly known as C/D).

Join us as we pack the house for our women’s and men’s basketball teams!

Looking forward to seeing you there next Thursday night!
