We are pleased to announce that pronouns can now be included on nameplates for faculty and staff. Signage standards have been amended to include pronouns below the name - see the photo at the right for a sample nameplate appearance.
All other standards remain in place, including the preclusion of professional designations, certifications, name prefixes, etc. in order to maintain adequate font size for readability and a consistent image campus-wide.

Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —
I am writing to update you that UIS will not be offering on-site Shield COVID-19 testing after June 29. This includes testing for both the public and the university community.
Beginning July 1st, UIS CareerConnect will be powered by Handshake. This is a vendor change that will impact both students and employees who either hire students or support students’ career development via jobs, internships, and career exploration assistance. Invitations for students and employees who hire students to join the new system will be coming at the end of June/early July.
The Shield COVID-19 testing site is closed today, June 20, due to a laboratory closure. The site will reopen at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 21.
Congratulations to the newest CSAC members:
Jamie Weber
Will Newton

We are pleased to announce two new human resource systems coming this summer. Cornerstone, a new applicant tracking system, will replace our current system, HireTouch. We are excited for the ways this new system will modernize the applicant experience, thus aiding our efforts to recruit the best candidates as well as offering administrative efficiencies not available in HireTouch.
Good morning, colleagues:
Dear colleagues:
In consultation with university leadership, including university chancellors and vice presidents, I am pleased to announce the authorization of a 3.5% merit-based salary program for faculty, academic professional and civil service staff across the University of Illinois System, effective Aug. 16, 2022.
This program remains a top priority in our budget planning to enable much-deserved recognition for employees. To help offset current economic challenges our nation is facing, this year's program is larger than last year's.
The Office of Web Services, in collaboration with a cross-sectional committee of university partners, has created a new, more streamlined approach to creating and maintaining university and unit-level policies online.
A new UIS Policies website, uis.edu/policies, is intended to be a one-stop shop for university policies. The site is searchable by policy type, audience or key words.
