Learn practical strategies to harness the power of instructor presence in tech-enabled courses. Generative AI is here to stay, but embracing these tools does not mean we have to leave our humanity behind.

On February 13th at halftime of the men's basketball game, any student-athlete (regardless of sport) who has earned a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher will be introduced. The seniors who will be introduced have been asked to select the UIS faculty or staff member who has been most influential during the student's time here. That person will be introduced along with the student. If you are asked – congratulations! Please accept only one invitation if you get asked by multiple seniors.

The UIS Course Survey App was launched this Spring, beginning with Intersession courses. Full-time and adjunct faculty are invited to attend a walk-through informational session to preview your students’ experience in the Course Survey App. Plenty of time is planned for Q&A, and we welcome questions to help populate the Course Survey App FAQ.
