UIS Grad is a Woman of Influence

I was delighted to be in the audience a few days ago when UIS alum, Janette Peak, received the Springfield Woman of Influence Award. The Women of Influence recognition program, sponsored by the Security Bank and the Springfield Business Journal, honors exceptional local women for their contributions to the Springfield area community. Janette earned her B.A. in Management from UIS in 1993 and is a partner in a successful auto sales and service company, PCP Auto, in Springfield. Janette is also an active volunteer in the Springfield community. We're proud to have a UIS alum recognized for her leadership and contributions to our community. Congratulations, Janette!

Graduation 2013

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wCLdShgR6Ec/UZE-TsAnogI/AAAAAAAAAUs/LzIDE19sLl4/s1600/Commencement+2013.jpg It was my great pleasure to shake the hands of 777 University of Illinois Springfield graduates this past Saturday in front of about 7,000 enthusiastic commencement guests.  What a wonderful day!  

There are undoubtedly thousands of photos from the many commencements on the three University of Illinois campuses.  Attached is one of my favorites.  This is UIS Computer Science graduate, Kudus Ogunseye, with his mother, aunts and the Chancellor.  Kudus was an active student leader during his years at UIS and has a job with the Springfield Urban League.  Congratulations Kudus and all UIS graduates!
