UNC Athletics Turns It Pink! Thanks to all who participated in the department-wide Pink Out on Oct. 23. Staffers and student-athletes worked, worked out, practiced and played in pink to support the fight against cancer. The Carolina rowing team (above, left) spent the day erging (and selling t-shirts) in The Pit as part of the Row for the Cure campaign. The Tar Heels have set a goal to raise $6,000 before competing this weekend at the Head of the Chattahoochee regatta, and so far they re at $5,100. Want to help provide some extra Halloween fun for patients at UNC Children s Hospital and support our student-athletes as they serve the community? Here s an easy way to do it: Tar Heel student-athletes will visit the hospital on Thursday to celebrate Halloween with kids there, and staff members can help by chipping in non-candy, trick-or-treat-friendly items (Halloween pencils, stickers, etc.). Please drop any donations by Wednesday in the collection boxes at the EWAC front desk or on the second floor at Loudermilk. Thank you for your help, and may your Halloween have just the right level of spookiness! Compliance Official Visit Overview Please keep in mind the following regulations and requirements for official visits. Note that this is a summary of regulations only, and that any questions not addressed below should be addressed with the Compliance staff. What is needed BEFORE an Official Visit: Coaches submit the Official Visit Approval Form (at least 5 days prior to visit) Coaches submit a transcript and appropriate test scores The prospect must be registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center The prospect must be placed on UNC s Institutional Request List (IRL) (handled by Compliance staff) Continued on page 5 Ernie Williamson Award Winners Congratulations to Kathy Duffy, Knox Pollard and Tom Sander, the 2013 recipients of the Ernie Williamson Award, which is given annually to a department member or members who best exemplify the spirit of the late Ernie Williamson. The award s criteria states: A winner of the Ernie Williamson Award will have an unquestioned love and loyalty for the University, the Department, and our student-athletes. This love and loyalty will be demonstrated by an inspirational work ethic, an encouraging demeanor, and the respect and admiration of his/her coworkers. This trio certainly fits the bill. In nominating them for the award, here are some of the things that coworkers said about them: Kathy always has a can-do, get it done attitude. She works hard and works smart, all with a smile on her face and with the best of intentions and results. In addition to her daily work in Facilities, she also is a tireless worker for the Event Management team. Tom puts in tireless work on behalf of the women s soccer student-athletes and coaches. His daily contributions are crucial to the success of the program. Knox is a prime example that when it comes to working, age is not a factor when you love what you do. He is always happy and upbeat. He loves this university and all that it stands for. Not only is he a true Tar Heel during working hours, he always showed his support of our great university by attending outside functions and athletic events. Every university needs a Knox Pollard, but fortunately for us, only WE get the privilege of having him on our staff. He loves and cares about this place, and truly represents all that the Williamson Award stands for. Thank you, Kathy, Tom and Knox, for all that you contribute to UNC and to our department!

Human Resources Enrollment Deadline Extended The State Health Plan and NCFlex have decided to extend the benefits enrollment period due to the large number of State employees who have not yet taken action regarding their benefits. The enrollment period will now be extended through Friday, Nov. 15. Because University benefits are also included in this enrollment period, the enrollment period for MetLife and Reliance Standard AD&D plans also will be extended. Employees will now have until Nov. 15 to take action on their benefits. As a reminder, all current State Health Plan members (and their dependents) will be moved to the Traditional 70/30 Plan if they do not take action to enroll in either the Enhanced 80/20 Plan or the Consumer Directed Health Plan. The State Health Plan has also created a video to address frequently asked questions about the new Consumer Directed Health Plan option. State Health Plan members who have not taken action as of Oct. 17 will receive a postcard about this extension in the mail at their home address. Give! (Please) Carolina Cares, Carolina Shares Carolina employees proved that Tar Heels Give More last year by raising more than any other campaign for the State Employees Combined Campaign.

In the first three weeks of this year s nine-week campaign, Carolina employees donated $213,897. Gov. Jim Hunt established the SECC in 1984 to encourage state employees to donate to charities. The charities are reviewed and approved for participation each year. More than 1,000 charities are eligible this year. Your gifts to the Carolina Cares charitable giving campaign have promoted positive change in our community and our state, and helped to turn lives around, says Brenda Malone, vice chancellor for human resources and chair of the Carolina Cares, Carolina Shares campaign.

The NCAA released data Thursday for the incoming class of 2006. Carolina had 10 varsity teams that scored 100 percent, including men s and women s fencing, field hockey, women s golf, gymnastics, rowing, women s swimming and diving, men s and women s tennis and volleyball. Those programs were 10 of 15 Tar Heel teams that measured 90 percent or greater. Nineteen UNC teams scored 80 percent or better. The NCAA s Graduation Success Rate includes transfer students and student-athletes who leave in good academic standing. The current GSRs are based on the entering classes from 2003-04 to 2006-07. The national average for Graduation Success Rates was 81 percent. UNC s GSR average for male student-athletes was 80 percent, five points higher than the national average. Carolina s GSR average for female student-athletes was 93 percent, also five percentage points higher than the national norm. We want every student to graduate from Carolina and today s results indicate that our student-athletes are working hard toward reaching that goal, says Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham. There s always room to improve and we are working closely with the provost, the Academic Support Program and faculty to develop outstanding strategies in all the areas that touch our students academic lives to help them reach those goals. The release of the Graduation Success Rates is an opportunity for us to acknowledge and celebrate the academic achievements of our student-athletes, says Dr. Michelle Brown, director of the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes. We take great pride in their academic success and our University is committed to supporting them in those endeavors.
