A Message to our UIS Community

Dear Faculty and Staff —
Welcome to a new academic year at UIS and to our newest faculty and staff colleagues. I know many of us are embracing Fall semester with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and excitement, and I hope this year is both personally and professionally fulfilling for each of you as you seize every opportunity to make a difference in our students’ lives.

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.
