Cole Carter, Tina Dadio, Solomon Franklin and Kurt Richter are the 2015 Employees of the Year. They were honored at the annual Staff Recognition Luncheon, held Wednesday, March 11, in the Student Union Multipurpose Room.

Inside UNC Charlotte, in February, published an article about construction projects that will enhance the campus traffic flow. Work has started at the University’s South Entrance (intersection of University City and Cameron Boulevards).

A traffic signal is slated for this intersection, which will improve entering/exiting the campus. The project has a targeted completion date of August 2015. 

Information and communication combine to form the fourth level of the COSO framework, and they are topics for this article in the ongoing series.

 Effective at noon today (Feb. 26), UNC Charlotte returns to normal operations, Operating Status 1. Classes will be in session and UNC Charlotte offices will be open. Students, faculty and staff should use judgment about the appropriate course of action in individual circumstances as the weather impact varies across the UNC Charlotte service region.  In all cases, allow significantly more time for travel and exercise caution.  

Effective midnight through noon Thursday, Feb. 26, UNC Charlotte will be in Operating Status 3, emergency closure.

Control activities are the third aspect of COSO standards of internal control examined in a series of articles being published in Inside UNC Charlotte.

In this second article in a series about the importance of the COSO standards of internal control, the focus is on risk assessment.

UNC Charlotte will return to normal operating status at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 18 (OS1).  Classes will resume and office and operations will be open.

Recently, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) updated its internal control standards, which form the backbone of internal control frameworks in organizations worldwide. North Carolina has adopted the COSO standards across all government agencies and universities, which has implications for all UNC Charlotte employees.

UNC Charlotte is participating in Recyclemania, a national recycling competition and benchmarking tool. College and university programs use this event to promote waste reduction activities on their campuses.

During a 10-week period (Feb. 1 through April 4), schools report recycling and trash data; institutions are then ranked by the ones that collect the largest amount of recyclables per capita, along with various other categories.
