How did UIS prepare you for the future? UIS prepared me to pursue a career in visual arts by offering a program that supplied the fundamental knowledge to strategically explore my interests. My professors helped guide me down the best path while respecting the importance of artistic liberty. The skills that I accumulated throughout the variety of courses provided me with a well-rounded educational experience that helped prepare me for future creative endeavors.

Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —

On Monday, Feb. 28, the statewide mask mandate will be lifted, making mask-wearing optional in most public indoor spaces unless otherwise required by federal, local or organizational/business laws or policies. Over the past two weeks, members of the UIS leadership team have had numerous conversations with students, faculty and staff about possible next steps regarding our mask-wearing requirements.

Breauna Spencer of Taylorville, a senior at Taylorville High School, has been admitted to the University of Illinois Springfield for Fall Semester 2022 and awarded a $36,000 Capital Scholars Honors Program scholarship. She plans to major in biology at UIS.

The scholarship can be renewed for a total of four years if the student maintains college GPA requirements.

At Taylorville High School, she is a member of the National Honor Society, dance team, band, concert choir, madrigals and is a part of the school musical.
