It's Giving Tuesday! How will you make a difference today?
This Giving Tuesday, we are calling on our community to come together and support students at UIS. Your gift today has the power to change lives – by providing scholarships, funding research and enhancing the overall student experience.
As UIS, we are dedicated to developing the leaders of tomorrow. Whether students are conducting innovative research or preparing to enter the workforce, your support makes these opportunities possible.
