Homecoming officially kicks off today, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to this year’s celebration! Our theme for 2024 is Legacy Ignited, and we have a full schedule of events and theme days to engage and unite our entire campus community. From today through the rest of the week, there will be countless ways for students, faculty, staff and alumni to come together and celebrate everything that makes UIS special.
Theme Days:

Dear Colleagues,
As we begin another fall season at UIS, I am writing to invite you to participate in the State and University Employees Combined Appeal (SECA) campaign. SECA offers our dedicated faculty and staff a meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities across Illinois and beyond. It is an opportunity for us to unite as a university and create a collective impact through our charitable giving.

Dear UIS Community —
Today is the first day of classes at UIS. This marks the 54th “first day” for UIS learners since our doors opened for classes as Sangamon State University in 1970.

Good morning, UIS:
The first day of classes begin in just a few days, and I’m so excited to see our students back on campus! As we look forward, it’s also a moment to reflect on the amazing work you've done this past summer. From enriching summer programs to upcoming events, our community continues to thrive thanks to your dedication and hard work.
