Greetings, colleagues!

Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources: 

A contractor will be on campus, Saturday, Oct. 15, for work on the HSB roof. This effort will involve the use of a crane, which will be placed on the east side of the building. Markers and barricades will be used to cordon off the area where the crane will be located.

Please do not enter the 3rd floor of HSB during this time. Signs will be placed on the stairwells as a reminder.

Work using the crane is expected to take most of the day.

The annual fire drills for the UIS campus will be conducted on Friday, Oct. 21, Friday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Nov. 4.
