Dear Colleagues & Students:

I am pleased to announce the Board of Trustees has approved the following faculty for sabbatical leave during academic year 2025-2026:

The following column was written by UIS professor Thomas Rothfus, director of the UIS Therkildsen Field Station at Emiquon and the UIS Field Station at Lake Springfield, and published by the Illinois Times on Feb. 24, 2025.

“The idea of a field station is not a familiar one to most people. Field stations serve as a home base for researchers and students seeking to understand the surrounding environment and its relationship to the rest of the world. They are also sites of education and outreach and play a vital role in training students.”

Please be aware that Parking Lot E will be closed on Thursday, March  27, so that school children may safely enter the UIS Performing Arts Center for the Staley Class Acts performance, Pete the Cat.

Thank you!

Spring has sprung so outdoor work has begun!

In the coming weeks, the painters will freshen up some striping in the parking lots and the pedestrian crosswalks across the campus. Please use caution when driving in areas where painting is being done.
