UNC Charlotte and the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) continue to prepare the campus for light rail’s arrival. This summer will bring an increase in construction traffic, periodic traffic disruption and several active construction sites.

Here are some safety tips and more information about what to expect:

UNC Charlotte welcomed the following new staff and faculty members during the April 18-19 New Employee Orientation session:

Atkins Library
Tracie Krumbine, university library technician

Broadcast Communications
Harrison Hieb, broadcast media specialist

Building Environmental Services
Christian Gamble, building environmental technician
Sumia Mayfield, building environmental technician
Paul Montgomery, building environmental technician
Stanley Smith, building environmental technician

In the last 15 years, tens of millions of dollars have been spent to increase physical facilities, and it is evident UNC Charlotte will continue to grow “by leaps and bounds.” To date, the 1,000-acre campus has approximately 9.8 million square feet of academic and administrative space in 163 buildings.

With continual enrollment increases, space will continue to be a hot topic – even if when mentioned, someone thinks of outer space.

To become familiar with how the University manages its physical infrastructure, it is important to understand space management.

When the fall 2017 semester begins, a hanging tag will not be needed to park on campus. Permits will be required still; however, permission to park will be virtual and verified through license plate recognition (LPR).

LPR works based upon the permit purchased. Parking privileges will be assigned to a vehicle license plate and the purchaser’s 49er ID card.

The Office of Human Resources (HR) has launched a new SHRA performance management program, NinerTalent STAKES – Succeeding through Teamwork, Active Feedback, Knowledge Transfer, Engagement and Support. 

The internal audit profession is interesting and dynamic. A challenge of the profession is to promote the role of internal auditor, while defeating misperceptions associated with this job.

The “old” internal auditor often was seen as a “bean counter” who was concerned with numbers or dollars and cents. Auditors were perceived as always looking back, and they emphasized finding fault.

Peter Franz, the University’s landscape architect, talks about the experience Blue Line Extension riders can expect when light rail arrives on campus.

Summer coincides with the annual end-of-the-year purchasing spree by some campus departments and units, and it is a time for offices to purge, replace, repurpose or recycle equipment. While most items make their way into the trash or recycle bins, University employees should exercise caution, as certain items require special handling.
