The University of Illinois Springfield Visual Arts Gallery is partnering with the Kidzeum of Health and Science, 412 E. Adams St., Springfield, to present “Bit by Bit,” an exhibition exploring the concept of healing through contemporary art. The exhibition will run from March 28 to May 11.

We are counting down until the 2025 Retirement & Recognition Ceremony where we will come together to celebrate our colleagues as a campus community. On April 17, 2025, we will celebrate our retirees for their service to the university. In addition to retirements, we will also be celebrating colleagues for milestone achievements of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of service.

Please consider joining us in the celebration that will take place in the Student Union Ballroom from 9:00-10:30 a.m.
