Searching the corporate directory on your VoIP phone
The corporate directory is a directory of all students, faculty, staff and retirees at Illinois State University. It contains only local phone numbers.
Before you begin
Faculty and staff records usually contain on-campus 438 phone numbers. Students’ records may contain 436 phone numbers.
Some people do not have a local phone on record, so their entries do not contain any phone numbers.
Some people, especially students, may have off-campus or long-distance “local” phone numbers.
