What was your overall UIS experience like?
It was a fun experience! I got to meet so many people and had a lot of great opportunities. I played on the soccer team but was also able to participate in Alternative Spring Break and a study abroad program in Italy.
Do you have any fond memories of your time at UIS you'd like to share?
I liked participating in Springfest with my friends and teammates! It was fun to get together each year with the entire campus and take part in the activities.

What was your overall UIS experience like?
My experience was life changing. I learned so much about myself and other people around me. UIS allowed me to explore so many avenues of my creativity within my major that added to my success today. I was involved in SOFA, Kinky Curly Hair Club, The Journal Student Newspaper, and Necessary Step Mentor program. I truly developed my character and identity on that campus, and used every resource available to me to make me the woman I am today.

What was your overall UIS experience like? Did you participate in any clubs or activities while attending UIS?
Right off the bat I was participating in the UIS Orchestra Program, Psychology Club, Camerata Program, and the Honors Program. As the months went by I started to establish who I was as a musician, student, mentor, leader, and friend. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work closely with my professors and help develop the Camerata music program from a simple ensemble group to a close-knit team of friends and collaborators.
Back to Class for a Day
In the University’s tradition of open and intelligent dialogue, UIS is offering three 45-minute mini-classes followed by a “stellar” luncheon presentation. Each session will be led by a subject matter expert, with campus tour options to cap off the day.
Register for classes and tours you wish to participate in. The mini-classes and campus tours are free of charge. The registration fee for the luncheon presentation is $40/person (includes hot buffet lunch).
Join us for a day of intelligent dialogue in celebration of UIS and learning!
