University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) undergraduate students now have the opportunity to earn both their bachelor’s degree and a law degree in six years (compared to the typical seven years) thanks to a new agreement with the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) School of Law.

Gbadeoluwa Adedigba of Shaki, Nigeria, a 2020 graduate of Sharon Rose College, has been admitted to the University of Illinois Springfield for Fall Semester 2022 and awarded a $36,000 Capital Scholars Honors Program Scholarship for tuition over four years. At UIS, he will major in biology.

The scholarship is awarded based on high school GPA and can be renewed for a total of four years if the student maintains college GPA requirements.

At Sharon Rose College, he was involved in running, poetry, health club and jets club.

Beth Hatt, professor of educational administration and foundations at Illinois State University, has been named the director of the new University of Illinois Springfield School of Education effective June 16.

Hatt has been a professor and served in various leadership roles during the past ten years in the College of Education at Illinois State University, one of the largest teacher education programs in the United States.

DUNS Number will change to Unique Entity ID (UEI). Contracts, grant applications, and other external documents will begin requesting the UIS ‘UEI’ instead of the DUNS number, beginning April 4, 2022. UIS UEIs are available on the ORSP webpage: /research/sponsored-programs/pre-award/rates-fa/. Just like the DUNS number, there is a separate UEI for State of Illinois grants and contracts.
