The University of Illinois Springfield College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is part of a $25,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant aimed at helping public colleges and universities navigate the world of artificial intelligence.
Helena Soares is a double major in Mathematics and English. She delights on the synergy between these seemingly disparate fields. Her love for both subjects is akin to a poetic equation, where words and numbers dance together, creating a symphony of intellectual curiosity.
Helena is a poet. She weaves verses that transcend the mundane, infusing them with the elegance of mathematical patterns. This is one of her found poems,

In an age where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries from healthcare to finance, the University of Illinois Springfield stands at the forefront of educational innovation.
By integrating AI across its curriculum, UIS breaks the mold of traditional tech-centric programs, extending its reach to all academic fields, including the liberal arts.
Remember when Uncle Ben told Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility?”
That quote rings true, especially when we talk about AI in higher education.
Simply put, it means that having a lot of power means you've got a big responsibility to use it wisely. And that's exactly what we're facing with AI in universities.
On one hand, there's a rising concern on college campuses about the potential misuse of generative AI tools like ChatGPT.
UIS adjunct instructor Heath Bruce says,
The University of Illinois Springfield Associate Professor of Computer Science Elham Buxton has published a new curriculum model aimed at fostering competencies in artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) among students in grades 7-10.
Why are fewer people riding public transit, and what do lower farebox revenues mean for state and federal government in their oversight and support of transit agencies? In an article published last year in the Municipal Finance Journal, our research team at the Institute of Government and Public Affairs developed some hypotheses for a possibly permanent decline in commuting: many workers became accustomed to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been hesitant to return to working in the office (Funderburg et al. 2023).
Recently, my colleague, Professor Liang Kong, gave a very interesting talk at the Conference on Security and Information Technologies with AI, Internet Computing and Big-data Applications (SITAIBA 2023
In a forthcoming special journal issue, faculty from the College of Health, Science, and Technology are making waves at the forefront of integrating traditional methods with artificial intelligence in computational science and engineering. Here’s an overview of this groundbreaking work:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands out as a beacon of transformation. Among the pioneers in this field is Ray Schroeder, UIS professor emeritus of communication and a senior fellow at UPCEA: the online and professional education association, who has dedicated the recent years of his career exploring the intersections of AI and learning.
The division of Finance have identified several AI/Data Analytics projects aimed at automating/optimizing its operation within three units:
