UIS Central Receiving and UIS Mail Services, as part of Campus Services, jointly serve as the delivery hubs for packages arriving on campus through major carriers, such as FedEx, DHL, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. Please use the Central Receiving address as your delivery destination, instead of your unit's campus address, for all packages, including Amazon orders. Doing so will result in reduced traffic, streamlined delivery of goods, and improved management of incoming shipments.

The elevator in PAC Tower 1 has been taken out of service for the near future. Substantial repairs are necessary, which may take some time to complete.

We will share status updates as they become available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Campus Community,

Next week initial preparations will begin for the Library Commons construction project. Starting on July 7, Parking Lot A-North will be closed to allow the contractor to install fencing to convert the lot into a laydown area for materials.

The following is important information for employees enrolled in State of Illinois health insurance coverage who made a health plan change for the new plan year, beginning July 1. 

If you did not make a health plan change, or you are NOT a current health plan participant, then you may disregard this email.

Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.

During the week of June 30, we will be upgrading WUIS and Sunflower.

During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.

Who do you call as soon as you hear good news?

My wife. She’s my biggest cheerleader and best friend. Then I call my parents and sisters.

My parents and sisters have always been my rock throughout my whole life. I tell them everything—good and bad—and I never have to worry about what they may think, how they’ll act, or if they’ll judge me because everything has always been real with us.

What’s something you’re really proud of?

Congratulations to our new CSAC Representatives!
