The final Belk Plaza forum will be 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, April 11, in the Cone University Center.  At this event, there will be a short presentation by key members of the LandDesign team to reveal the conceptual plan for the plaza’s transformation.

UNC Charlotte employees demonstrate devotion to duty, display innovation, participate in community/public service efforts and engender better human relations. For their efforts, staff members are nominated for and recognized as Employees of the Year. For 2016, the University honored Lebra Nance, Lee Beard, Paul Taylor and Dorothy Vick.

All UNC Charlotte residence halls have fire alarms and sprinklers, and probably most off-campus housing offers protection for students. But fire prevention is a topic that warrants near-constant reminders, because a combustible event could have disastrous results.

To illustrate just how dangerous fire in a residence hall or an off-campus apartment could be, the University’s Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHS) is conducting a simulation and awareness event from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 29, at the basketball court near Martin Hall (close to Parking Lot 6).

UNC Charlotte will test its emergency alert system between 10 and 10:30 a.m., Friday, March 25.  

During this test, both a “red” and “yellow” alert banner will appear alternately on University websites. Each of these alerts should produce a LiveSafe message that will be delivered to all UNC Charlotte subscribers of this application.

Christy Jackson recently joined UNC Charlotte as the first director of communications for the Division of Business Affairs.

The recently completed Phillips Road Bridge will open midday Saturday, March 12, which means there will be a new campus traffic pattern at the intersection of Cameron Boulevard and Craver Road.

The existing intersection of Phillips Road and Cameron Boulevard will close as work to remove the asphalt along a section of old Phillips Road begins.

Work to extend the CATS Blue Line onto campus continues, and beginning in the next days and for the next several months, construction will impact the UNC Charlotte campus, particularly at Institute Circle. As with all construction, weather may change the projected schedules for the below phases of the project.

After three years of preparation and extensive review from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), UNC Charlotte has received the official designation as a “StormReady Community.”

StormReady is a community preparedness program of the National Weather Service, a division of NOAA; the program encourages government entities and commercial gathering sites to prepare for severe storms.

The second of three Belk Plaza forums is scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, Feb. 22, in the Cone University Center, Lucas Room. Attendees, comprised of the campus community, alumni and others, can participate in this event that will, in part, influence the conceptual plans for the transformation of Belk Plaza.

Jeff Baker, chief of the University’s Police and Public Safety Department, was elected vice president of the N.C. Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (NCACLEA).

According to the association, NCACLEA works to promote professional ideals and standards for campus law enforcement in order to better serve the needs of higher education in North Carolina. In addition, the association provides professional development opportunities for its members and represents campus law enforcement agencies.
