The 20th Faculty and Staff Campaign Kickoff is Thursday in the Student Union Ballroom! Here's the menu (and the associated viral YouTube videos) for the FREE LUNCH:
The 20th annual Faculty and Staff Campaign Kickoff event is Thursday, March 6, from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom.
As a thank you to our faculty and staff donors, all employees who make a gift to any UIS fund on March 6 will receive this personal fan with fun UIS messages. You will also have an opportunity to collect more UIS swag just for coming to the kickoff event.
If you have any questions about this event or the Faculty and Staff Campaign, please reach out.
I hope to see you next Thursday!

What was your overall UIS experience like?
Being able to work full-time while enrolled in the online MPH program was such a benefit. It provided great flexibility while still being able to communicate regularly with my professors.
Do you have any fond memories of your time at UIS you'd like to share?
Some major life events happened during my MPH program. I got married to a lovely lady, our twin boys were born, and we bought our first house. I look back and smile but can’t help thinking how I stayed sane!
