A wide range of ideas was welcomed and considered with the goal of funding projects with broad impact to UIS.
Dear Colleagues:

From Provost Schwab
Greetings – it is great to see students, faculty, and staff back on campus. I hope your semester is off to a good start and that you are “weathering” the weather okay. With the cold, snow, wind, ice, rain, and fog, it has been an interesting start to the year.
UIS Students, Faculty, and Staff:
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.
