The University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) Diversity Center is excited to invite all graduating students and their allies to the inaugural Prairie PROUD Celebration. This inclusive event honors the diverse identities, cultures, and achievements of our graduates. In alignment with our mission to foster a supportive environment for all students that values and encourages individuals of all backgrounds and identities to engage with our programs and initiatives, no individuals will be excluded from full and equal participation in the activities, services, and functions of this program based on their identification as a member of a protected class. We welcome the participation of all members of the UIS Community as their interests and our programs align. Students who graduated in Fall 2024 or will graduate Spring or Summer 2025 are eligible to participate in the celebration, which occurs in the Spring of that academic year.

Eligible students should have received an email from the Diversity Center with information about registration. If you believe you are eligible and didn't receive the email please contact us.

For questions or accommodations, contact us at diversity@uis.edu or 217-206-6333.

*Open to the UIS community to attend*
