Work begins September 5 on the PAC Roof Replacement Project. Contractor equipment and materials will be staged in the lot on the southwest side of the building, near the loading dock and stage door.
For safety reasons, this lot will be closed to all non-contractor vehicles from September 4 to October 25, to provide a dedicated area for roofing crews to safely operate and work.

Mike Hermann is the athletic director.
Can you give us a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
I’ve had the chance to serve as the director of athletics at three previous institutions: Niagara, Towson and Kansas Wesleyan. Most recently, I was in a senior athletics role at Pacific in California. I was excited to return to the Midwest (I grew up in Ohio) and have the opportunity to lead an athletics program again.
What’s something important you’ve learned from your family?
