Greetings, Niner Nation Family!
|
|
Each month I strive to kick off our newsletter with a look back at the month before. So much is happening on campus and in the Charlotte community that it is a big challenge to represent everything that is important and acknowledge all corners of our University community.
This semester, UNC Charlotte has again experienced enrollment growth, with our population rising to over 29,000 students. This number places us as the third largest institution in the UNC system! We are incredibly excited about this growth and can see it in the engagement at campus events and daily in between classes.
With this growth, we are also enthusiastic about new student organizations and expanded programs to serve these students and their families. This fall, our fraternity and sorority community is welcoming two new organizations for students looking to go Greek. In the newsletter, you can find more information about Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity joining our community and the impact they are hoping to make.
Additionally, we saw this growth reflected at our annual Family Weekend in September. This year, we were pleased to have over 1,500 participants in the program—our largest ever! The energy and school spirit during the weekend was exceptional, and we look forward to seeing how the program continues to grow in future years. Read more about this year’s event later in the newsletter.
Along with all the good of the semester, there have also been challenges on campus, in the Charlotte community and beyond. We have experienced an incredibly active hurricane season, which has affected many across the South. With the extreme weather, the University has rolled out a new initiative, NinerNotice, to keep the community (including families) informed. More information on this tool, how to sign-up and what types of notifications will come to families can be found in a below article.
September also brought about the one-year anniversary of the police-involved shooting of Keith Lamont Scott and the civil unrest in the city that followed. To mark this anniversary, the city and campus put on a number of programs that allowed the community to reflect and engage in dialogue around the events of September 2016. Some student reflections can be read on
Inside UNC Charlotte.
This month, we have some great articles for you in addition to those previously mentioned. Since midterms are quickly approaching, one of our student interns asked some students for their tips on being successful through exams. We also have an update on the coming of the Charlotte Light Rail, ideas for safe Halloween fun, information on upcoming Homecoming event and more.
In addition to the great events of October, the beginning of November will be Election Day for the city of Charlotte (Nov. 7). If your student is local, encourage them to read up on candidates running for local government, including mayor, and vote. We encourage all Niners to be engaged citizens of the city they call home.
Finally, mark your calendars for Spring Family Reunion on Feb. 17, 2018! More information on this event is coming later this fall.
As always, we are here to make sure you stay informed and engaged in the UNC Charlotte experience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at
parents@uncc.edu or 704-687-0341.
Go Niners!

University Launches Two New Communication Initiatives
|
|
|
In an effort to strengthen communication in times when there is no threat, but when it would be helpful to have more facts and information from UNC Charlotte, the University has created two new channels.
NinerNotice is a website for information on unusual events about which the University would like you to know. If you would like to receive email pushes when a new notice is posted, you may
subscribe here.
Also new this year is the online availability of the
police log, which provides a comprehensive list of all incidents to which University police officers respond.
It is important to remember that a NinerNotice is for informational purposes only. No action is required by those who receive it, and there is no threat to the campus.
NinerAlerts are issued when there is a threat to campus safety or operations – or when there is a change to UNC Charlotte’s operating condition (delayed opening or closure). NinerAlerts are used to reach the community quickly and directly, and the University reserves this communication tool for when immediate attention or action is needed. If your email was provided to New Student and Family Services, you are automatically registered to receive NinerAlerts via email.
If you have any additional questions or comments about the crisis communication project, please reach out to Chris Gonyar, director of emergency management, at
cgonyar@uncc.edu or 704-687-7884; or Christy Jackson, director of communications for business affairs, at
cjack113@uncc.edu or 704-687-5749.

UNC Charlotte Mourns the Loss of Passionate and Dedicated Faculty Member
|
|
By Shannon McGevna,
New Student & Family Services
A visionary, committed and enthusiastic. These are just a few words colleagues and students of Dr. Jeannine Skinner used to describe the young and vibrant UNC Charlotte professor. On Sept. 2, students heard news of her death through a message from Chancellor Dubois.
Dr. Skinner was an assistant professor of gerontology/psychology in the Department of Psychological Science. Her primary focus was using evidence-based approaches to improve the health and well-being of older adults in the surrounding Charlotte area. Skinner went to senior development facilities and established meaningful connections to teach how physical activity could be instrumental in warding off cognitive decline and cardiovascular disease.
Professionally, Dr. Skinner was well-liked within the psychology department. She worked to strengthen our undergraduate programs and generate potential community-based research opportunities to benefit her gerontology students. Additionally, Skinner was instrumental in revitalizing the psychology department through multiple diversity initiatives.
“Dr. Skinner was someone who always treated those she met with the utmost respect, fairness and warmth. She was a deeply committed instructor and mentor to students and an awesome team player with our faculty,” psychology professor Dr. Webb said.
Inside the classroom, Dr. Skinner taught with expertise and passion. Her students often times described her as passionate and dedicated.
“She was enthusiastic about paying forward her expertise so that the academic and broader Charlotte communities could benefit,” Webb said.
Students who are struggling with Dr. Skinner’s death have on-campus resources such the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services and the Center for Wellness Promotion that they may utilize.

Staying Connected with Your Student
|
|
|
If you want to stay up-to-date with your student during college without bugging them all the time, we have some tools that will help! Talk to your students about these options for viewing their student bill and academic record.
The Guest Access Portal allows students to grant a guest, such as a parent or family member, access to view their education record. Only students may grant this access to you, using the
UNC Charlotte Guest Access Portal. Guest users who have been authorized by the student may view items such as class schedule, mid-term and final grades, unofficial academic transcript, financial aid and student account activity. However, the Guest Access Portal does not allow you access to pay their bill.
Will someone other than the student pay the bill? If so, they will need the student’s permission to have access to the student’s account. This is called an “Authorized Payer.” Students must log in to
My UNC Charlotte and give you access to view their account information. With this permission, you can make payments on the student’s behalf and view account information.
View instructions here.
When will your student receive their bill? The University does not mail paper bills. An electronic billing statement, or eBill, will be created in early July for the fall semester and early November for the spring semester, once the student registers for classes. Students will receive an email to their campus email address. Their account will reflect all charges and credits on the student’s account as of the date the bill was created. New charges and credits can be viewed on the student’s
My UNC Charlotte account.
Be aware of the health insurance charge. All students enrolled in six or more degree-seeking credit hours are required to have health insurance. The charge will be listed in your student’s account. If they are covered by another policy, they can waive the Student Health Insurance fee by submitting a waiver. Student Insurance waivers are credits and appear on your account as a “Health Insurance Waiver”. It may take up to 30 days for the credit to be processed and credited to your student’s account. Please visit
studenthealth.uncc.edu for the insurance premium fee amount and instructions on the waiver process.
Do you see a negative balance on your account? This means you do not owe this amount. You will be receiving a refund. If the amount of financial aid disbursed is greater than the charges on your account, then you will see a negative balance on your student’s account. This means a refund will be paid to the student. Refunds begin disbursing seven business days before classes begin. Students may use this refund check to purchase books or for other expenses.
If you have questions regarding your student’s bill, please contact the Student Accounts Office at 704 687 5506 or
studentaccounts@uncc.edu.

New Student & Family Services Hosts Record-Breaking Family Weekend
|
|
|
By Jordan Holliday-Millard,
New Student & Family Services
New Student & Family Services (NSFS) was excited to welcome our Niner Nation Family back to campus Sept. 15-16 for Family Weekend 2017. The weekend included many signature events that saw record registration and attendance for the program, with an overall registration of approximately 1,550 participants, a 17 percent growth from 2016 to 2017.
The weekend kicked off with the fall meeting of the UNC Charlotte Family Council, a group of family donors committed to impacting the student experience through philanthropy and programming. The Council has grown to include eight families (16 members) and will be expanding to include new initiatives in the coming year. More information on the Council and 49er Family Fund
can be found here.
Saturday morning, NSFS hosted 11 educational and informational sessions for families, called 49er 411 Sessions. Topics included everything from academic advising to college student drinking to international education and study abroad. These sessions, started in 2015, have seen consistent growth in attendance, and this year almost 200 participants attended the two sessions, a 90 percent growth from 2016. The NSFS team was so excited for the great work of our campus partners and families for attending these sessions and staying informed and engaged.
The program also saw growth in many of our signature events. The annual Chancellor's Brunch, hosted on Saturday, hosted over 500 family members for a morning of great food and fellowship. Additionally, the Niner Nation Family Game Day Celebration had over 800 families in attendance for a BBQ buffet, entertaining music and giveaways and a ton of Niner Pride. The weekend was capped off with a sold out football game as the Charlotte 49ers took on the NC A&T University Aggies, with over 1,100 family members in attendance at the game. NSFS is encouraged to see more and more family members excited and engaged with the 49er community.
Now, NSFS looks forward to our spring event, Spring Family Reunion, taking place on Saturday, February 17, 2018!

UNC Charlotte Welcomes Two New Greek Organizations: Kappa Alpha Theta
and Alpha Tau Omega
|
|
|
By Shannon McGevna,
New Student & Family Services
With the school year starting, there are many new and exciting things being brought to UNC Charlotte: the new Smoked BBQ in Prospector, the Light Rail and two new Greek organizations: Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
With the addition of Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta), our Panhellenic Association now houses eight sororities. For nearly 145 years, Theta has sought partnerships with institutions across the United States and Canada whose own mission align with their core values: personal excellence, sisterhood/friendship, scholarship, service and leadership.
Because Theta is new to our campus this year, they chose to informally recruit this fall. Educational Leadership Consultants (ELCs) from their national organization met with unaffiliated women on campus to share information about the sorority and the extension process.
The organization proudly partners with National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to support children suffering from abuse and neglect. Along with working for a national philanthropy, Theta also works to support the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation, which awards yearly grants and scholarships to encourage members in their academic pursuits.
“Kappa Alpha Theta believes that fraternity/sorority communities and chapter excellence begin with the actions and values of chapter members. As UNC Charlotte women promote highest scholastic, social and moral standards, Theta members strive to live by similar core values in daily life. Theta began as an organization to foster support and encouragement for aspiring female leaders, and we feel that will continue to live on at UNC Charlotte,” Julianna Butler, director of marketing for Kappa Alpha Theta said.
In addition to a new sorority, UNC Charlotte has now added another fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega (ATO), making it our fourteenth organization of the Interfraternity Council (IFC). ATO is an all-inclusive fraternity that strives to welcome men who want to leave a legacy on their campus.
Expansion consultants are here until the end of October recruiting new members by referral, in lines at Starbucks or just seeing them around campus. Within ATO’s creed, there is a line which members adhere to: “…to know no North, no South, no East, no West, but to know man as man.”
In coming to UNC Charlotte, ATO hopes to change the culture and stereotype of fraternities. They want their men to know they can challenge the status quo of what a fraternity man is and can be. ATO is committed to gaining members that want to lead on campus, in the classroom and in the community.
“ATO is different than other organizations on campus because we are brand new, we have no background on this campus. We want to push to these men that they can join this organization and make it what they want to in their next 2, 3, 4 years left. We want them to know they can leave a positive legacy on this campus,” Kahri Bolden, expansion consultant, said.
“I decided to join ATO to leave a lasting legacy at UNC Charlotte. I was looking for a stronger core group with an organization whose actions speak for itself. I am beyond excited to start this journey in ATO, and can’t wait to be a part of something greater than myself,” new member Kevin Hines said.

The University is eagerly anticipating the arrival of light rail as we move closer to its opening. When it arrives, light rail will serve to connect the University and the city of Charlotte like never before. However, it is important to know exactly what the theme “Light Rail Connects Us” truly means. How will light rail impact campus? Where will it go? And, most importantly, how much will it cost? Fortunately, the University is addressing all these concerns and is providing information online at
lightrail.uncc.edu. Working in partnership with the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), the University will continue to provide relevant light rail information on that site through the opening and beyond.
The CATS LYNX Blue Line Extension will extend the current LYNX Blue Line that serves the southern part of the city. The extension, which will extend from center city to campus, will open by March 31, 2018. The exact opening date is still unknown, but safety testing is ongoing. Once the light rail is open, students’ access to Charlotte and our Center City Building in uptown will exponentially increase. This allows students enhanced access to uptown for internships or to simply explore the robust offerings within the vibrant city of Charlotte. Additionally, the light rail will help to reduce traffic for those students who commute to campus. Upon arriving by light rail, the enhanced Niner Transit bus system will shuttle students around campus with multiple routes serving the campus. Students also have the option of using the new bike-share program, Charlotte Wheels, for navigating the more pedestrian-friendly areas of campus.
While there is a fee for the light rail, the University will not begin charging students until train service begins. When service begins, an additional fee of $50 will be added to the transportation services fee on your student's tuition annually. This allows unlimited, all-access riding privileges for students with access to CATS light rail, trolley, Special Transportation Service, local and express bus routes, including the Airport Connector, fare-free. Transit privileges are tied to students’ 49er ID cards, so that means they don’t have to have a ticket to board. Students simply tap their 49er ID at a reader installed on the cars when they enter and exit the train or bus.
Campus safety is a top priority for the University. CATS is working closely with the University’s police department as well as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on the safety of light rail passengers. In addition to the safety measures already in place by CATS – like advanced, state-of-the-art cameras and security officers on trains – the University is taking additional steps to accommodate the light rail’s arrival on campus. Security cameras, extra lighting and blue light phones are installed at the station on campus. Additional campus police officers have been hired and will patrol the area around the station, especially during peak travel times and at night.
The light rail will truly have a transformative effect on both the main and Center City campuses, and will make it much easier for people to make the trek from uptown to take in educational, cultural and athletic events on campus. We look forward to the convenient and much-needed access for our students, faculty and staff members.

49ers Speak On…Fall Break
|
|
|
Compiled by Zoe Cantu-Backhaus,
New Student & Family Services
Even though Fall Break may be only four days long, some of the students at UNC Charlotte are taking advantage of their free time to travel or even catch up on some sleep. Here’s what students at UNC Charlotte have to say about what they are doing for this upcoming break!
|
|
“This fall break I will be going to Chicago through the School of Architecture from Wednesday to Sunday. I will be going to several museums or exhibits as well as viewing and studying the site where we will be designing a chapel or a music pavilion!”
Lachelle Weathers,
second-year architecture major
|
|
“I will be going back home this fall break. My main goal for this long weekend is to definitely catch up on sleep. Ever since midterms came around I’ve been in the library a lot so I decided I am going to treat myself by sleeping in. I also plan on spending some quality time with my mom by going to the mall. So overall, I’ll have a pretty relaxing time.”
Kelby Royal,
second-year business analytics major
|
|
“This fall break I’m going pumpkin picking with my family then having a pumpkin carving contest. We do it every year, so I’m really excited for it! I think this year I will finally win.”
Taylor Eubanks,
third-year pre-communications major
|
|
“Over Fall Break I am going to Boone to visit some friends in the mountains. I’m not really sure what we will be doing but most likely a lot of hiking and maybe even whitewater rafting. I’m looking forward to it because I really love being outdoors with my friends. Hopefully, we go camping too. It’s always a good time to be in the mountains.”
Joshua Weiland,
second-year criminal justice major
|
|
“I haven’t made plans for Fall Break yet, but I know I am most likely going to catch up on some homework and maybe even go out volunteering. I really enjoy volunteering on my free time, so I am really excited about it. Also, it will be really nice not feeling too behind on homework and having a good head start.”
Haziina Butler,
second-year sociology major

Students Offer Unique Tips for Successfully Conquering Midterms
|
|
|
By Joshua Weiland,
New Student & Family Services
The ever-approaching midterm season is upon UNC Charlotte students. Midterms are a staple of college life. After all, what is college without exams? Many students dread the midterm season, but here are a few tips from our very own UNC Charlotte students on how to conquer midterms this season.
When asked what the purpose of midterms were, DeVanté Thomas-Pittman, a second-year French and German major said, “Midterms are a way to check in on your progress in a course to make sure you understand the content.”
Knowing this about midterms, Thomas-Pittman reached out to a tutor to help him prepare for his exams. He said students need to take advantage of tutoring through the
University Center for Academic Excellence (UCAE). In his own words, “The UCAE is a lifesaver!”
Breanna Herring, a first-year psychology student said, “Midterms are necessary to both ensure you are staying on track [with] the material and [alert an instructor] to a topic that needs more clarity.”
Herring learned this the hard way when she figured she didn’t need to adequately prepare for her midterm and “studied” the night before. This resulted in a failure or, in her words, “a colossal ‘L’.”
In order to avoid this same outcome, Herring suggests, “Study the material a little bit over time, or make a study schedule if you have a few exams coming up, but most of all, do not cram!”
Preparing adequately for the exam leads to better results, and gives students an understanding of what they need more help on. This also lets the instructor know what he or she needs to go over in more detail. Follow this tip, and your student is one step closer to midterm success!
Cameron Wilson, a second-year mathematics for business major, thinks that midterms “serve as a checkpoint for the student” and finds them of the utmost importance, not for the teacher but as a tool for the students.
“They force you to become familiar with the course material halfway through the semester and will allow for more class time on the topics that the class seemed to do poorly on,” Cameron said.
Wilson advised that students preparing for midterms immerse themselves in the subject because relying on memory will not lead to success. Wilson said, “A short pencil is better than a long memory,” meaning writing things down helps in the long run. This can be done by taking advantage of the study cubicles in the Atkins Library or by utilizing note cards to test your own knowledge.
Like many students, Shayna Farris, a first-year pre-public health major, had the midterm jitters. When getting out of her seat during the midterm to ask her instructor a question she had forgotten to screw her top back on her water bottle and knocked it into her lap. She was extremely embarrassed stating, “It looked like I peed my pants.”
Farris advised students remove all things from their desk to not only avoid distraction during the exam, but to also prevent an embarrassing experience happening to them.
When asked her advice for midterms, she said, “The most important tip I have for students is to ask questions! Although my experience trying to ask a question was not as positive as I’d hoped, asking […] about questions you are unclear about is super important. It will ensure you are answering the question fully and appropriately, which will help you to obtain a good grade.”
She continued, “If not, you can be like me and accidentally write a short paper on the show ‘The Office,’ instead of the use of professionalism in the office!”
“To punish you,” Sydney Hogan, a third-year theatre education major jokingly answered when asked what the true purpose of midterms were.
However, Hogan values the importance of health when it comes to academics. “Drink a lot of water because contrary to popular belief, it’s better for you than Red Bull, and get a good night’s rest before the exam,” she said.
Students may be tempted to pull an all-nighter, but studies show there is a link between hours of sleep and test performance.
In a study conducted by Ghent and KU Leuven Universities in Belgium, those who slept at least seven hours the night before had nearly a 10 percent increase in test performance than those who did not. In the words of Hogan, “If you don’t get enough sleep, you will look and feel like trash and so will your midterm scores!”
Midterms are no walk in the park. They take hard work, dedication, commitment and effort. However, students should remember that exams are important, and if they utilize some of these tips, there is a greater chance of success of their midterms. Best of luck, Niners!

Councils Provide Opportunities for Students to Engage in Greek Community
|
|
|
By Ena Walker,
New Student & Family Services
UNC Charlotte’s Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is home to over 40 amazing Greek-lettered organizations. Many of these organizations are home to the campus student leaders, including the past three student body presidents, Homecoming Queens and Kings and many other prominent campus representatives.
Fraternity and sorority life at UNC Charlotte is made up of five different councils: Diversified Greek Council (DGC), Independent Council (IC), Interfraternity Council (IFC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and the Panhellenic Association (PHA). All five councils are based on scholarship, sisterhood/brotherhood, service and leadership at the University.
This fall, the Councils each have exciting programs coming up for students. Here a few highlighted programs coming up soon.
DGC hosts DGC Week each August during Week of Welcome. The purpose of the program is to celebrate the founding of the Diversified Greek Council by hosting culturally diverse and educational events. DGC was founded in Aug. 2009, during our traditional Week of Welcome. Encourage your student to be on the lookout for this Council’s other programs this year.
NPHC will host the Homecoming Stroll-Off on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Popp Martin Student Union, room 340. Students can join our eight NPHC chapters in the competition of the year as fraternity men and sorority women compete “People’s Choice” edition of the stroll-off. If you want entertainment, this is where it will be for Homecoming 2017!
This month, PHA will host Circle of Sisterhood Week. Co-sponsored and supported by all eight Panhellenic chapters, Circle of Sisterhood Week works to bring awareness to the lack of education for young girls that is still prevalent in many places across the globe. Circle of Sisterhood is the Panhellenic Association’s national philanthropy, and PHA is currently working to fund a school abroad. Students wishing to participate in this program can look out for events Oct. 16-19.
