Hello, UIS employees— 

I’ve been enjoying seeing everyone on campus and getting to know our students. Now that the U of I State Tour has ended, I am looking forward to spending more time at events and gatherings – the excitement is palpable as we continue to enjoy a renewed sense of togetherness. Hopefully, this translates to high levels of engagement from students in your classes, activities and in your work spaces. After all, we’re all here for them — to ensure they have the best student experience possible.
