Presented by the UIS Alumni SAGE Society

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming system-wide  event, "Advancing Student and Employee Health and Well-Being as a Health Promoting University", scheduled for Wednesday, October 9 at 1 – 3 p.m. CST, free via Zoom

Mike Hermann is the athletic director.

Can you give us a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?

I’ve had the chance to serve as the director of athletics at three previous institutions: Niagara, Towson and Kansas Wesleyan. Most recently, I was in a senior athletics role at Pacific in California. I was excited to return to the Midwest (I grew up in Ohio) and have the opportunity to lead an athletics program again.

What’s something important you’ve learned from your family?
