YOUR DAILY NEED TO KNOW: FACULTY & STAFF
- If you are considered a full-time employee under the Affordable Care Act rules, you will receive a Form 1095-C mailed to your home in the coming weeks. The form will include information about the health coverage offered to you by the University. It is not necessary for you to wait until you receive this form to file your tax return. You will not need to attach or file your Form 1095-C with your 2021 federal income tax return; however, this information may be useful. Please contact benefits@uncc.edu with questions.
- The “Teaching with Poll Everywhere” workshop, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 2, will introduce faculty/staff to the student response software that encourages student engagement in online, blended and face-to-face instruction through a variety of activity types that let you visualize student feedback in real time, like open-ended Q&As, multiple choice and word clouds.
- Applications are open for a new Gambrell Faculty Fellows cohort. The UNC Charlotte Urban Institute is seeking the fourth cohort of faculty fellows to research issues related to economic mobility in the Charlotte region, with support from the Gambrell Foundation. This year, the Gambrell Faculty Fellows program will fund up to six projects with grants up to $15,000 each.
