What was your overall UIS experience like?
My time at UIS was a life changing experience for me. My two degrees from UIS gave me a foundation of knowledge in economic theory and policy, political science, and the legislative process.
In celebration of the University’s upcoming 55th anniversary, we are very excited to partner with Publishing Concepts (PCI) to conduct Storied – The 55th, A UIS Alumni Oral History Project, the full-scale alumni oral history program which will provide an opportunity for all 45,000+ living alumni to share their story, in their words.
