Dear colleagues,

A section of Richard Wright Drive will be closed Friday, September 27 from noon to 6 p.m. for the Homecoming Pep Rally Block party.

The Office of Continuing and Professional Education (CAPE) offers digital badging services that let UIS departments validate employee skills and acknowledge student achievements outside the classroom. 

You can partner with CAPE to design professional badges for your workshops, trainings, conferences, and other learning events. Badge earners can share their credentials on platforms like LinkedIn, showcasing what they have learned and their institution's commitment to professional growth.  

Impact of the FY24 Faculty & Staff Campaign

We had another great year because of AMAZING employees like you!

What is color contrast?

According to WebAIM, “contrast is a measure of the difference in perceived ‘luminance’ or brightness between two colors.” Contrast is expressed as a ratio with a range of 1:1 (both colors are the same; for example, white text on a white background) to 21:1 (for example, black text on a white background).

Civil Service staff members are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest in compliance with Policy and Rule 16.01.

The annual ethics training window will begin soon. Please watch for an email on October 1st with the training link and instructions coming from the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (ethicsofficer@uis.edu).

Please mark your calendar to ensure you have time set aside to complete the training. We estimate the training will take approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour to complete. For assistance with your Net ID or resetting your password, please contact your respective service desk:

Tamara (Tammy) Martin is a clinical instructor in the College of Education.

Can you give us a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?

From Provost Schwab

Welcome to the Fall Semester! It is great to have more life on campus after a busy (and short) summer. I want to thank everyone who attended the Faculty & Staff Kickoff and a wonderful New Student Convocation and Party on the Quad. I commend our Student Affairs colleagues for the great events that will hopefully become a terrific UIS tradition that grows over time.

On April 24, 2024, the Department of Justice published a final rule updating the regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This rule emphasizes the need for web content and mobile applications provided by state and local governments, including public higher education institutions, to be accessible to people with disabilities.
