Dear Colleagues,

The Springfield area is forecasted to receive its first significant snowfall Sunday through Monday. The university does not anticipate any changes to campus operations; however, this is the time of year to reacclimate ourselves with UIS’ inclement weather procedures.

As a matter of policy, UIS does not close due to inclement weather except under the most extraordinary conditions. However, periods of inclement weather often result in conditions that make travel difficult and at times hazardous.

Information for Employees:

Current Location: Bolingbrook, IL

Hometown: Lawrenceville, IL

Current Position: Executive Director at the Illinois Economic Policy Institute

My time at UIS was a life changing experience for me. My two degrees from UIS gave me a foundation of knowledge in economic theory and policy, political science, and the legislative process.
