Overview

The University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) is a premier public university that provides students with a high-quality liberal arts education, exceptional public affairs opportunities, and outstanding professional preparation programs. UIS is one of three universities of the world-class University of Illinois system and has been ranked by US News & World Report as one of the top 10 regional public universities in the Midwest.

A university’s faculty represents one of its most precious assets. One of the ways universities can successfully attract and retain top talent is through named professorships and endowed chairs. To receive a named professorship is a hallmark of distinction – it signifies outstanding academic achievement and conveys invaluable financial support that helps to advance high caliber work. Here you will find information about current named professors and endowed chairs, as well as lists of faculty who have held these distinguished appointments in the past.

A university’s faculty represents one of its most precious assets. UIS faculty are nominated for 12 faculty awards each year: 11 University awards, and the University of Illinois University Scholars Award.

Recipients of faculty awards are recognized at the annual spring Faculty Honors Reception. Link to the Faculty Honors Reception newsroom article.
