The Finance Intern Program is designed to give students with an interest in business and finance an
opportunity to learn some of the operational functions in Finance at UNCW. The interns will rotate
working four to five weeks in the Controller’s Office, Budget and Financial Analytics Office,
Purchasing and Student Accounts and Cashier Office (SACO). This win-win program provides
additional staffing in these areas and the interns are given a preview of the financial operations in
higher education.
Two students were hired in January, Natalia Salgado and Michael Sikora. Natalia is originally from
Argentina and is a senior majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting.
She plans to pursue a Master of Science in Accountancy at UNCW and is excited to experience
what goes on “behind the scenes” that contributes to making UNCW such a great institution.
Natalia assisted in SACO in February. Michael is a transfer student from Ohio and is also graduating
in May 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Finance. He is working in the
Accounts Receivable (Billing/Non-Student) and Accounts Payable areas.
Please welcome our Finance interns!

University Police Department
We continue to enjoy low crime rates on campus. Larcenies, which are our most common crime, dropped
almost 7% from 2015 to 2016. For the first two months of this year, compared to January and February of
2016, the trend is continuing with larcenies down almost 27%. In fact, if you look at the five-year period of
2012 through 2016 larcenies have dropped 38% overall. All of us should be proud of this. These reduc-
tions are the result of everyone on campus taking steps to protect their property and reduce the oppor-
tunity for crime. The police department thanks you all.
The police department would also like to thank our Coffee with a Cop partner, Port City Java, for their
outstanding support.
Coffee with a Cop (second Wednesday of each month) – Next date is Wednesday, April 12th, Port City

Feast Down East is a local program aimed to create a healthy, accessible local food system, which sup-
ports economic growth in Southeastern North Carolina. The organization originated in 2006 as a
UNCW-affiliated economic development project, the Southeastern North Carolina Food Systems Pro-
gram. UNCW hosted the Local Food Conference, providing specially curated food using local sources
and educating attendees about various sustainable practices in the region from campus dining and their
executive chef, Ryan Andress.
“The partnership between Campus Dining and Feast Down East has played a critical role in our ability
to source and supply our students with local products for more than six years,” said Matt Rogers, dis-
trict manager for ARAMARK Food Services and Campus Dining, and vice president of Feast Down
East's board of directors. “The annual conference is a chance to bring together the farmers, buyers and
community to both celebrate and build on the local food movement here in southeastern N.C.”

EH&S Sustainability and Campus Dining Partner with New Hanover
County to Boost Composting Efforts
Campus Dining and Environmental Health & Safety’s Sustainability were recently recognized in their efforts
to promote sustainable waste management. UNCW is the home to a New Hanover County pilot program
to boost composting efforts. Campus Dining and EH&S Sustainability are working together to reduce
landfill waste by composting dining hall waste. It’s an all-hands-on-deck effort from the students, campus
dining staff and management. Matt Rogers, Campus Dining (Aramark) Resident District Manager, said, “We
are excited to be on the forefront of this important project for New Hanover County. It is our hope that
this pilot project can lead towards a full scale composting program for the county.”
Kat Pohlman, EH&S Sustainability Captain, said, “The collaboration between New Hanover County
Environmental Management and UNCW demonstrates that a large-scale composting facility is
beneficial for the university’s zero-waste practices, research possibilities and greenhouse gas emissions.
We are excited to see the future evolution of this project and the impact it has on the community at
large.”

Auxiliary Services officially launched the UNCW Hawk Wheel’s Bike Share program with a ribbon
cutting ceremony on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at the amphitheater. Parking and Transportation
partnered with GOTCHA group (Green Operating Transit Carrying Humans Around) on the
bike share program. The GOTCHA bikes are ‘smart bikes’ meaning they are outfitted with a GPS
tracking device that charges from a solar panel. Users access the bikes through this panel by
entering their member ID number and pin.
Nick Cannon, Alternative Transportation Coordinator, said, “It was very exciting to have an official launch
of the new program. The Ribbon Cutting of Hawk Wheels Bike Share is unique because it
wasn’t about introducing something that we finally implemented to catch up to other institutions; we were
introducing something that brands UNCW a first in the UNC System and a true show-
case to make us stand out as a university.”
As of February 15th, the program has 500 members with over 4,000 rides, equating to
102,706 calories burned, 2,264 pounds of carbon reduced and 2,567 miles ridden.

Business Services Welcomes New Employees with Trolley Tour
As part of “Business Services New Employee Orientation,” employees enjoyed a tour of campus on
the UNCW trolley. The tour, given by Eric Griffin, Assistant Director of Environmental Health and
Safety, visited all of the areas of Business Services and several other key locations on our beautiful
campus. As new employees, it can sometimes be difficult to know the different areas of campus and
the trolley tour provided employees with the ability to put a name to buildings and locations they
hear throughout their day-to-day jobs.
Sharon Boyd, Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Services said, “We want our employees to
know when they first arrive they are part of the Seahawk family and that what we do in Business
Services builds community and affects daily lives. We are proud to welcome this talented group of
hard working professionals.”

Recycling and EH&S Sustainability Promotes Recyclemania 2017 Competition
RecycleMania 2017 is currently underway! This 8-week friendly competition between over 350 colleges and
universities highlights recycling and waste diversion efforts. Kat Pohlman, EH&S Sustainability Captain, said
“RecycleMania is a time for UNCW to show off the great efforts we all make to divert waste from the landfill.
From athletic events to office spring cleaning, RecycleMania is a reminder to always try to reduce, reuse and
recycle.”
The Sustainability Stewards will be working on marketing which focuses on our student population, but it is up to
the rest of us to encourage and excite the rest of campus. Each week will target a different recyclable item with
The More You Know flyer. Reach out to EH&S Sustainability or Recycling with any questions or to inquire about
getting involved.
