On February 28, 1995, Governor Jim Edgar signed a bill reorganizing higher education in Illinois, which in the process abolished the Board of Regents of Sangamon State University (SSU) and merged SSU with the University of Illinois System. On July 1, SSU officially became the University of Illinois Springfield. Naomi B. Lynn, the last president of SSU, continued as the new university's first chancellor.[2]
