Dear Faculty,
We are receiving calls at the help desk from students who are having technical issues with their midterms because of the Respondus outage:
While the latest reports indicate that the situation is improving, I wanted to make sure that you are all aware of the outage in case it is impacting exams your students are taking today, and you want to extend deadlines as needed.
The 20th Faculty and Staff Campaign Kickoff is Thursday in the Student Union Ballroom! Here's the menu (and the associated viral YouTube videos) for the FREE LUNCH:
Please be aware that on Tuesday, March 4, Parking Lot J and a section of Lot F will be closed to campus for parking due to an event being held at the Student Union.
Parking Lot E will also be closed on Tuesday, March 4, so that school children may safely enter the UIS Performing Arts Center for the Staley Class Acts performance The Boy from Troy.
On this date, please make sure to plan accordingly and utilize alternate parking lots authorized by your parking hang tag.
Thank you!
The 20th annual Faculty and Staff Campaign Kickoff event is Thursday, March 6, from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom.
As a thank you to our faculty and staff donors, all employees who make a gift to any UIS fund on March 6 will receive this personal fan with fun UIS messages. You will also have an opportunity to collect more UIS swag just for coming to the kickoff event.
If you have any questions about this event or the Faculty and Staff Campaign, please reach out.
I hope to see you next Thursday!

The state budget proposed today by Gov. JB Pritzker would provide a 2.7 percent increase in state-appropriated general operating funds for the University of Illinois System, increasing the system’s general funds appropriation to $730.1 million for the coming fiscal year. The proposal represents a continuation of the vital reinvestment our state and Gov. Pritzker have made in recent years in public higher education.
