What was your overall UIS experience like? Did you participate in any clubs or activities while attending UIS?

Right off the bat I was participating in the UIS Orchestra Program, Psychology Club, Camerata Program, and the Honors Program. As the months went by I started to establish who I was as a musician, student, mentor, leader, and friend. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work closely with my professors and help develop the Camerata music program from a simple ensemble group to a close-knit team of friends and collaborators.

Back to Class for a Day

In the University’s tradition of open and intelligent dialogue, UIS is offering three 45-minute mini-classes followed by a “stellar” luncheon presentation. Each session will be led by a subject matter expert, with campus tour options to cap off the day.

Register for classes and tours you wish to participate in. The mini-classes and campus tours are free of charge. The registration fee for the luncheon presentation is $40/person (includes hot buffet lunch). 

Join us for a day of intelligent dialogue in celebration of UIS and learning!

Faculty & Staff Campaign Kickoff

The Faculty & Staff Campaign is a fun way to acknowledge the importance of employees at UIS and to remember the rich history of employee involvement at UIS and SSU. We're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Faculty & Staff Campaign in 2025. All UIS employees are encouraged to attend the event. Stop by for lunch, talk to colleagues about what they do and how donations help, pick up some swag and maybe even be compelled to make a donation.
