Greetings! Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources:
Supervisor Development Series
Human Resources is pleased to announce a new Supervisor Development Series, a semester-long series of trainings that will generally occur on the last Wednesday morning of each month. A tentative schedule is included below:
Welcome to both new and returning members of the UIS community. ITS stands ready to assist you with all your technology issues and questions.
ITS Client Services is your first point of contact for all technology issues regardless of device, platform, or operating system.
Dear UIS Students, Faculty, and Staff:
Happy New Year, and welcome to a new semester at UIS!

The University of Illinois Board of Trustees along with University of Illinois System President Timothy L. Killeen cordially invite you and a guest to the Investiture of Chancellor Janet L. Gooch, University of Illinois Springfield.
Testing and inspection of the fire alarm systems will be wrapping up on Monday, January 9, with testing of detection devices, mostly those that detect smoke. No horns will be sounded as part of these final tests but the smoke detectors will beep intermittently. You should not ignore any horn alarms sounding outside this schedule or horn alarms that sound for a prolonged period of time.
Dear students, faculty and staff:
As we begin the spring semester, it is important to remain vigilant to protect ourselves against COVID-19. Core to this is the science-based decision-making process we have followed from the very beginning, using guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the Illinois Department of Public Health and relevant campus and community scientific analyses.
Please be advised that next Wednesday, January 11, Parking Lots C-South, C-North, D, E and the PAC teardrop will be closed to campus for parking due to the Illinois House of Representatives Inauguration ceremony.
SMTD bus service will not be provided in the PAC teardrop and will be reduced to service only at the bus shelter located next to Founders Residence Hall at Eliza Farnham and Vachel Lindsay Drive from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
Some changes were made to the fire alarm testing schedule so please review the revised schedule below carefully.

You can now add recurring dates and date ranges for Events! The Office of Web Services (OWS) added this functionality after receiving multiple requests for this feature.
The new 'When' field provides this capability, offering many configuration options, to reduce the need to duplicate event content on the site for repeating events.
