Good afternoon:
I hope everyone enjoyed the dose of sunshine we got this weekend! I was glad to be back in Springfield last week following a busy three days in Chicago the prior week for Board of Trustees activities. This week is the Investiture at 2 p.m. Wednesday, and I’m so grateful to everyone who is working hard to make this a special event.

Happy New Year, UIS!
I hope each of you had a relaxing and healthy winter break and are feeling revived for an exciting spring semester. We have a very busy few months ahead of us as we work to fill key administration positions, host the February investiture and the March Board of Trustees meeting, plan for 2023 Commencement and more — all while juggling the usual course of business of teaching and supporting our amazing students!

Good morning, colleagues:
Campus certainly is quieter now that finals are over and students are making their way home for winter break. I hope you each are managing well through your own end-of-semester tasks and that you are preparing for some much-deserved downtime. With our university holidays and gift-days, we are off Dec. 23 through Jan. 2. This will be my last UIS Update newsletter of 2022; look for the next issue on Jan. 9.
