This was a short week for me here on the UIS campus. I was at home in Michigan on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for personal business and routine appointments. Other than meetings on Monday about graduate assistantships, enrollment, and review of tenure and promotion files, it was a day with few surprises. At the Chancellor’s cabinet, topics discussed included: student survey regarding graduation, institutional effectiveness and assessment, and audit controls regarding operational deficits.

The seniors in this group will be escorted by a faculty member who has been influential at UIS. It would be wonderful if faculty members could be in attendance to witness this student-athlete recognition. Game time is 7:30 pm Thursday.
