Due to winter weather conditions, we wanted to provide an update about campus operations. Classes WILL be in session both on-ground and online on Tuesday, Jan. 23. As the UIS Inclement Weather Policy states, if classes are not canceled and a student believes that travel will be dangerous, the student should make the appropriate personal decision and notify their instructor of a planned absence from class. Instructors are advised to abide by each student’s judgment in such cases.
Following the success of our fall retreat, there will be a Professional Development Retreat on March 1 for all faculty and staff. More details, including registration information, will be forthcoming, but please mark your calendars for this next Rise event.
On Thursday, February 1, at halftime of the men's basketball game, any student-athlete (regardless of sport) who has earned a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher will be introduced. The seniors who will be introduced have been asked to select the UIS faculty or staff member who has been most influential during the student's time here. That faculty member will be introduced along with the student. If you are asked – congratulations! Please accept only one invitation if you get asked by multiple seniors.
The following campus units have announced that their offices are closed or staff are working remotely on Monday, January 22.
