On Thursday, February 1, at halftime of the men's basketball game, any student-athlete (regardless of sport) who has earned a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher will be introduced. The seniors who will be introduced have been asked to select the UIS faculty or staff member who has been most influential during the student's time here. That faculty member will be introduced along with the student. If you are asked – congratulations! Please accept only one invitation if you get asked by multiple seniors.

If you attend one athletic event this year, make it this one. Tip-off for the women’s game is 5:30, and the men’s game is 7:30 PM.

Faculty and staff admission is free! This event has been scheduled carefully to increase the likelihood that faculty will be more likely to attend. We hope that there will be a good crowd on hand to see these students acknowledged for their accomplishments and faculty’s contribution to those accomplishments.
