In response to faculty and staff feedback, UIS offered its inaugural Rise Professional Development Retreat for Civil Service/Academic Professional staff and Faculty.

Attendees heard from the chancellor and each vice chancellor about their goals for the 2023-24 academic year, and introductory information about our newest faculty colleagues and administrators also was shared.
