UIS Community,

We wanted to send out a quick reminder about the importance of being prepared, as severe weather is forecasted for our area later today. While notification systems are in place to send out information, you can also help keep yourself safe. Now is a good time to take a moment to go through steps you can take during an emergency weather event.

Dear UIS Colleagues,

UIS Commencement 2023 is rapidly approaching, and we’re looking for volunteers to help make this year’s Commencement Ceremonies memorable for our students.

Springfest needs volunteers to serve as judges for this campus tradition! Judges are needed for the following events:

• Monday, April 17 - Scavenger Hunt 
• Tuesday, April 18 - Trivia Night
• Wednesday, April 19 - Flag and Chant
• Friday, April 21 - Sports Day 1
• Saturday, April 22 - Sports Day 2 

If you are interested in volunteering as a judge, please complete this form by April 3.

Dear Faculty and Staff:

The UHB elevator near the women’s restroom is out of service for the immediate future. Parts have been ordered to complete the repairs needed to return the elevator to service. Unfortunately, the supplier is not able to give us a firm delivery date yet for those parts. Once we know more, we will share an update.

Please use the 2nd elevator around the corner in the interim.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear Faculty:

I’m following up on the Chancellor’s email to UIS students this morning to ask that you encourage students in your classes to participate in this brief student satisfaction survey. The survey opened today, March 22, and closes April 14.

WHAT?

On Wednesday, March 22 all enrolled students received an e-mail link to a survey from Chancellor Gooch.  

The Center for Faculty Excellence mission is to engage and to connect all UIS faculty as they pursue excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service at all stages of their careers. Learn more about CFE's upcoming events!

Please join us on April 5, 2023 to celebrate this year's CARE and CAPE Award nominees!

The Chancellor’s Award Recognizing Excellence in Civil Service (CARE) and the Chancellor’s Academic Professional Excellence Award (CAPE) have been awarded annually at UIS for the past 16 and 20 years, respectively. Each year we receive nominations highlighting members of our campus community who consistently go above and beyond their duties and truly exemplify excellence
