Past Campaigns

The Faculty & Staff Campaign is a fun way to acknowledge the importance of employees at UIS and to remember the rich history of employee involvement at UIS and SSU. We want to encourage new donations but we also want to thank the many employees who already give to UIS. You are an important part of the Faculty & Staff Campaign!

2025 Campaign

2025 Celebration

It was an inspiring showcase of how each contribution, no matter the size, can create ripples of change across our university! Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's campaign - either by attending the kickoff celebration, making a gift or spreading the word!

Why give?

Faculty and staff members often find that their passions and interests intersect with the mission and programs at UIS. In addition to the time and talent you share each day through your work, giving back offers an opportunity to come together to work to change our community for the better. We are lucky to have such generous employees at UIS: During the 2023 fiscal year, a record-breaking 53.4% of UIS employees made at least one (but often more than one) gift to UIS! Gifts of any amount, to any area of UIS, 鈥渃ount鈥� as part of the campaign.

To answer questions and provide encouragement to give, each unit on campus has a Faculty and Staff Campaign ambassador.

Donations can be made or, if you prefer, . You can always call the Division of Advancement at 217-206-6058 for more information as well.
