Please find the link below to the September 6, 2023, Civil Service Advisory Council meeting. All civil service employees are welcome to attend.
The agenda can be found here: https://uofi.box.com/s/gkna62y0yn29b05cjaw4xuia1yp8br9w.
Join COLRS staff to learn about navigating the Canvas interface and the foundational tools for organizing and building a course at UIS. Topics covered include: navigating, communicating with students, creating modules and assignments, and gradebook.
In response to faculty and staff feedback, UIS is offering a Professional Development Retreat next month for Civil Service/Academic Professional staff and Faculty. A multidisciplinary team of UIS colleagues has developed an exciting half-day retreat focused on Workplace Wellness.
Formerly referred to as our faculty convocation, this event is a renewed all-employee assembly intended to kick off the new academic year together! You will hear briefly from Chancellor Gooch and each vice chancellor about our goals for this year, and we will share introductory information about our newest faculty colleagues and administrators. This event will be capped off with snacks and time to catch up with colleagues.
Please join us for the August edition of the Supervisor Development Series - We Care: Providing Support and Safety through Sexual Misconduct Reporting.
This is being held Wednesday, August 30, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on this Zoom link.
This training is open to the entire campus community!
Sign up for website editor training on the new uis.edu website. Training typically lasts an hour to 90 minutes and is open to all staff and students.
