Good afternoon, UIS!

Commencement 2025 has come and gone — what an amazing two days of honoring our graduates! Commencement is a complex event that takes a large team to execute successfully. Whether you served on the planning committee, volunteered at the ceremonies or served behind the scenes, thank you for contributing to this special moment in our students’ and their families’ lives! 

If you received an email from GrantForward, it is not spam or a phishing attempt. This is a grant database that UIS is subscribed to. Previously, it only had accounts for faculty and those who opted in. Today, accounts went live for Civil Service and Academic Professional employees. 

This is how the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will begin sending out monthly newsletters at the start of the Fall semester to increase efficiency and have better usage metrics than the email version we've been using.

Don't hesitate to reach out with questions!
