UIS Community,

We wanted to send out a quick reminder about the importance of being prepared, as severe weather is forecasted for our area later today. While notification systems are in place to send out information, you can also help keep yourself safe. Now is a good time to take a moment to go through steps you can take during an emergency weather event.

The University of Illinois Springfield Computer Science Department has opened a new high-tech research laboratory in the basement of the Health and Sciences Building. It’s called the Orion Lab, named after UIS’ mascot. The lab is open to all UIS students, faculty and staff for their research projects.
