Dear colleagues:

This year we will have a 2% merit-based salary program across the University of Illinois System.

Our faculty and staff are the drivers of the excellence we deliver to students, their families and the people of Illinois. This year’s salary program, crafted in consultation with system and university leadership, remains an important priority, even as we weigh many competing financial demands and budgetary constraints.

7.8.24

Happy Monday,

I hope you enjoyed the holiday and weekend with friends or family. As we enjoy the hot summer, I wanted to share some exciting updates and upcoming events. We're continuing our work to improve education, support our students and faculty, and keep our digital environment secure.

Facilities and Services will oversee the inspection of fire alarm systems during the week of July 8th. This is primarily a visual inspection, but there will be brief, intermittent activations of alarm horns and strobe lights as part of inspection procedures.

Please see the building inspection schedule below:

Monday, July 8

How did your UIS education prepare you for your career?

I graduated with a degree in Business Administration and took Advertising as an elective. It was one of my favorite classes, so I knew I wanted to work in that field somehow.
