Despite concerns over state funding, there is reason for optimism at the University of Illinois Springfield. In the first part of our interview, Chancellor Susan Koch told us about planning that is underway for a likely reduction in funding.
But there's also a bright side at UIS. The campus has all time high enrollment and many other positive changes are coming. A new nursing program will launch this fall and ground will soon be broken on a Student Union.
The Chancellor talks about those changes, the formation of a faculty union and her overall outlook as she wraps up her 4th year on campus.
