One of the most meaningful ways I demonstrate CARE is by investing in the students who are entrusted to CARE for others.

For five University of Illinois Springfield students, a recent service trip to Guatemala became much more than a construction project. Alongside three UIS staff members, students traveled to Antigua, Guatemala, where they partnered with ImagininGuatemala to build a home for a family in the village of Pastores.

The home was the second built through a UIS partnership and the 266th completed through ImagininGuatemala.

Choosing a college is a big decision. You want a place where you can learn, grow and feel like you belong! A connected public university like the University of Illinois Springfield gives you the best of all worlds.

Here’s why:

Personalized Attention

At a UIS, you learn in a collaborative environment. Your professors know your name, your goals and your strengths. Both inside and outside of the classroom, you can ask questions, join discussions and get help when you need it.

Good morning,

We are currently looking for staff members who are willing to serve as judges for Springfest.

Springfest is UIS's longest-running tradition. It's an exciting event to close out the end of the year. An event where students come together to compete in fun activities and challenges as a team. Judges help by observing the activities, keeping track of points, and helping make sure the event runs fairly and smoothly.

Join us for the next installment of the Chancellor’s Thinkers Series as we continue a year of dialogue, reflection, and discovery.

What do you like about your job? 

On the really good days, I get to work with students who need a reminder of why they are here. I encourage them to push themselves in their classes and help connect them with the resources they need to be successful in their college experience. Being a source of support and a cheerleader for students is a powerful and rewarding feeling.

The Division of Student Affairs is excited to share that there will be a UIS float in the Springfield, Illinois St. Patrick's Day parade! We need your help to make this a success! By filling out this form by February 13, you can express your interest in helping build the float, walk/ride in the parade, or BOTH! The parade will take place on Saturday, March 14 in downtown Springfield.

Join us in being proud to be LUCKY TO BE A PRAIRIE STAR!
