Faculty/Staff

As temperatures rise, the campus and surrounding communities are more vulnerable to the effects of unhealthy air quality. The annual Clean Commute Challenge, an initiative spearheaded by N.C. Air Awareness, aims to combat this issue. 

The program, administered by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, provides individuals and organizations with tools to help reduce pollution and exposure to harmful levels of ozone and particulate matter.

Employees who carry a dependent on their state health insurance must take action for the State Health Plan Dependent Eligibility Verification Audit. The audit, which began May 22, concludes July 31.

Failure to respond and produce the required documentation will result in termination of the dependents’ coverage under the plan effective Aug.1.

Later this week, the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will begin testing trains along the route to the UNC Charlotte Main Station. There will be trains traveling at very slow speeds on the tracks and possibly stopping at the station on campus. This will occur primarily in evening hours.

UNC Charlotte’s Police and Public Safety Department will conduct on-campus training today, Tuesday, June 6, and Thursday, June 8, near Oak Hall. There will be an increased police presence in that area, and individuals will likely see officers in tactical gear. 

This is part of routine training conducted by PPS.
