Homecoming

Each year the University of Illinois Springfield invites students, faculty, staff, alumni and the local community to celebrate our Homecoming celebration.

Written in the Stars

September 14-20, 2025

UIS Homecoming is an annual tradition involving a week of engagement and events designed to develop pride and spirit among the UIS community. The first UIS Homecoming was held in 1996.

Student Life Events

Student Life serves as a resource for all students, enabling them to engage in, contribute to, and benefit from this community. Student Life initiates programs and activities that enhance the student experience and further the university’s mission of providing an intellectually rich, collaborative, and intimate learning environment for students, faculty, and staff, while serving local, regional, state, national, and international communities.

Get Involved

Our motto is learning and leading by serving. Our goal is to foster a life-long commitment to community within all UIS students, faculty, and staff and our mission is to link the UIS community to service and civic engagement opportunities in central Illinois and beyond.
