Dear Colleagues,

As we settle in to a new academic year at UIS, I am writing to invite you to participate in the State and University Employees Combined Appeal (SECA) campaign. SECA is an annual opportunity for our faculty and staff to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities throughout Ãå±±½ûµØ and beyond. It provides an avenue for us to come together as a university and make a collective impact through charitable giving.

UIS Campus Senate will meet on Friday, September 22, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, in P PAC 160, Community Room (formerly known as C/D).

The agenda can be found here: https://uofi.box.com/s/jhfwakkoi8adjq2cxp79s0zhwoeknimu

Campus Senate meetings are open to all who are interested in attending any part or all of a meeting. Please contact the Senate Chair or any member of Senate Executive Committee if you have issues you would like to bring to the attention of Campus Senate.
