The University of Illinois Board of Trustees along with University of Illinois System President Timothy L. Killeen cordially invite you and a guest to the Investiture of Chancellor Janet L. Gooch, University of Illinois Springfield.
Testing and inspection of the fire alarm systems will be wrapping up on Monday, January 9, with testing of detection devices, mostly those that detect smoke. No horns will be sounded as part of these final tests but the smoke detectors will beep intermittently. You should not ignore any horn alarms sounding outside this schedule or horn alarms that sound for a prolonged period of time.
Dear students, faculty and staff:
As we begin the spring semester, it is important to remain vigilant to protect ourselves against COVID-19. Core to this is the science-based decision-making process we have followed from the very beginning, using guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the Illinois Department of Public Health and relevant campus and community scientific analyses.
Please be advised that next Wednesday, January 11, Parking Lots C-South, C-North, D, E and the PAC teardrop will be closed to campus for parking due to the Illinois House of Representatives Inauguration ceremony.
SMTD bus service will not be provided in the PAC teardrop and will be reduced to service only at the bus shelter located next to Founders Residence Hall at Eliza Farnham and Vachel Lindsay Drive from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
Some changes were made to the fire alarm testing schedule so please review the revised schedule below carefully.

You can now add recurring dates and date ranges for Events! The Office of Web Services (OWS) added this functionality after receiving multiple requests for this feature.
The new 'When' field provides this capability, offering many configuration options, to reduce the need to duplicate event content on the site for repeating events.
The January fire alarm testing is scheduled to take place in the coming days. The test procedures will include the intermittent sounding of horns and activation of the strobe lights to ensure all components of the system are working properly. You should not ignore any alarms sounding outside this schedule or alarms that sound for a prolonged period of time.
