Greetings Campus Community,
The roofing contractor will have a crane on site on Friday, Sept. 19 to remove roofing debris off of Founders Residence Hall. The crane will be positioned on the west side of Founders, just off Eliza Farnham Drive. The bus stop on that corner will remain open and accessible. The red rectangle on the included image indicates the approximate location for the crane.
Please use caution if you need to travel near the residence hall. Construction zones and equipment placement areas will be marked to assist with navigation and ensure safety.
We hope you will be able to join in celebrating this year’s University Scholars Award recipient on Wednesday, September 24.
If you plan to attend and have not yet registered, please do so by end of day Friday, September 19, so we can finalize event details.
Event Details

The following are major site prepation and construction priorities for Library Commons each month.
On Saturday, September 20, the UIS Office of Advancement is hosting the UIS Alumni Gala at the Student Union.

The rapid emergence of generative AI tools has added new pressure to the challenges already facing higher education faculty. While these technologies can be used responsibly, many instructors are alarmed by the growing tendency of students to rely on AI as a shortcut. This practice not only raises serious questions about academic honesty but also threatens to erode the very skills higher education is meant to cultivate—critical thinking, clear writing, and independent problem-solving.
Vachel Lindsay Drive will be closed Wednesday, September 17 at noon and re-open Thursday September 18 at noon.
Please use Ernest Hemingway Drive and University Drive to access campus during this time.
Residents of West Campus may access the parking lot using 11th Street and the first parking lot entrance on Vachel Lindsay Drive.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but hope you enjoy the REC Palooza Street Party Wednesday evening.
James Koeppe
Director of Campus Recreation
