I am the Chancellor and Vice President of the University of Illinois Springfield. I served in senior leadership roles at two public regional universities prior to my arrival at UIS.

Deep in my heart, I do believe
My husband and I were so
pleased yesterday to celebrate Martin Luther King Day by participating with
several UIS student leaders and UIS staff in Springfield's 38th Annual MLK
Memorial Breakfast. The event was sponsored by the Springfield Frontiers
International Club, a service organization that has been serving the community
for 60 years. Leon Taylor and Richard Bowen, who are also good
friends of UIS, are two of the exceptional community leaders who make this
event happen every year. Thank you, Leon, Rich and all the members
of Frontiers International who work every day to advance the ideals and ideas
of Martin Luther King in our community and thanks also to Ashley Harris, Robyn Crutchfield, Bamba Njie, Aireon Wright, Dominique Wilson, Lincoln Blacktom, and Jeffrey
Cosby for representing the UIS
student body at this important community celebration.
