Month: October 2016

Exhibits, live performances, and a variety of cuisine highlighting cultures from around the world will be featured Nov. 4 at The Recreation and Athletic Center at UIS as part of the university’s 39^th annual International Festival.

Hosted by UIS International Services, “World as One: Uniting Peoples and Cultures” will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.  It is free and open to the public.

Hmong, China, India, Vietnam, Burma, Japan, Mexico and Kazakh, among other international areas, will be highlighted during the festival.

UIS students will be among festival performers.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as FAFSA, for 2017-2018 is now available, according to the UIS Office of Financial Assistance.

Students previously filed for FAFSA starting Jan. 1; new rules now say Oct. 1. The earlier date is designed to allow families more time to get an accurate amount of how much money they’ll receive from the government.
