A University of Illinois Springfield researcher has co-authored a new study showing that the way political leaders talk about refugees can significantly influence public opinion.

Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.

During the week of June 30, we will be upgrading WUIS and Sunflower.

During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.

Who do you call as soon as you hear good news?

My wife. She’s my biggest cheerleader and best friend. Then I call my parents and sisters.

My parents and sisters have always been my rock throughout my whole life. I tell them everything—good and bad—and I never have to worry about what they may think, how they’ll act, or if they’ll judge me because everything has always been real with us.

What’s something you’re really proud of?
