Good morning,
We are certainly in our “busy season” at UIS, with lots of exciting end-of-term activities, Springfest and final steps with most of our administrative searches. Last week was our annual STARS Symposium; I am so sorry I wasn’t on campus to attend but heard it was a great event. Congratulations to all involved!

Dear UIS Students –
Commencement is one of the most memorable days of a student’s college experience, and as your chancellor, I want to be sure we best understand what is important to you regarding how UIS Commencement is offered and structured.

Dear Colleagues:
As you may recall, I have been working to establish a Chancellor’s Committee for Belonging, Dignity and Justice. This committee will work to examine existing approaches to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice across the institution, lead our DEIJ strategic planning efforts, and provide a centralized source for future discussions about how we carry out our institutional commitment to belonging, dignity and justice. I am happy to announce the membership of this committee and our next steps.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff —
I understand that last night’s Student Government Association townhall that took place in the Student Union was difficult for many students and staff in attendance. I unfortunately was not able to attend due to work-related travel, but I have been in communication with Student Affairs leadership to make sure students who need support are receiving it. We will fully evaluate all that transpired before making recommendations for further appropriate actions.
