Reaching Stellar: Scholarships change lives for UIS students
Andrew Adams graduated this month from UIS with a master’s degree that also gave him a fantastic internship experience.
“I grew up in Illinois. I went to high school during the budget impasse, that was a conversation every day,” Adams said. “The state Capitol has always loomed large in my life. I wanted to see the nuts and bolts, and contribute to the conversation about it.”

Karen Whitney BOT Remarks | 5.13.22
Good morning.
In the 22 months I have been with UIS serving as the Interim Chancellor, I am thrilled to share with you what I have come to know and appreciate most about UIS. As I have said before, Iam so proud that UIS is a capital city university dedicated to the public good through intensive teaching, applied research and outstanding public service.
