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.
