THE MAIL CENTER NEEDS PACKING SUPPLIES

It’s that time of the year again when students will be packing up and shipping their things home. The Mail Center is getting low on bubble wrap, bubble cushions and popcorn, so please donate unwanted cushion material to us rather than throwing in the trash. It’s our way of recycling and helps the students at the same time. If you can leave those items in a bag or box, the Mail Center staff will pick them up when they deliver your mail. Although we appreciate your donations, newspaper and Styrofoam are not needed. Paper is too heavy and causes higher shipping costs and Styrofoam is usually too bulky. Thanks in advance for helping us recycle and making these items available to our community.

Submitted by Elizabeth Spruill, Mail Center Manager

ATTENTION STUDENTS: IT’S TIME TO COMPLETE YOUR SUMMER ADDRESS FORMS

During the summer, the Mail Center Staff will forward all 1st class mail to the permanent address you have provided to the Registrar’s office. If you are going to be somewhere other than home for the summer, you need to come to the Mail Center and fill out a summer forwarding form. We only need this information from the students who do not want their 1st class mail being forwarded home. 

For students who are not returning in Fall, 2012 and not returning home, please contact the Registrar’s office to change your permanent address.

Please note: Magazines and “Junk mail”, i.e., Bulk, Standard or Non-Profit mail cannot be forwarded. If you want your magazines forwarded, you need to contact the magazine and request a change of address (usually listed somewhere in small print within the editor/publishers information).

Submitted by Elizabeth Spruill, Mail Center Manager

DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR ONE CARD IN THE FALL

Please make sure to put your One Card in a safe place so you can bring it back in August.

Returning students are reminded to bring their One Card back in the fall. You use the same card for all the years you are at UNCSA. Also, Pickle Dollars, money you put on your card for laundry, copies, etc, DOES carry over to next term.

Bonus Bucks, funds that are a bonus to your meal plan, DO NOT carry over to next term. You need to use them up.

If you are NOT returning in the fall and have a Pickle Dollar account balance of $25 or more you can apply to have the funds refunded to you.  Please visit the One Card web page at:  http://www.uncsa.edu/onecard/#policies.

             I am proud to announce that this year’s recipient of the “11th Annual Staff Outstanding Service Award” is EDWIN MARTINAT, the Activities Coordinator in the High School Residence Life office.  To sum up what was written in his numerous nominations, I share these quotes  “Edwin is truly a blessing for our High School student population.  He consistently goes above and beyond to provide many social activities that engage the students in a positive manner and deter them from choosing negative outlets.  He is a role model for his peers and the UNCSA community by presenting as a true lover for the arts and arts community.  Edwin has contributed significantly, going above and beyond his job description, in the following ways:

v Co-Advisor for the high school Gay, Straight Alliance.

v Performing the role of Mother Ginger, in The Nutcracker.

v Served on the selection committee for the 2012 Excellence in Teaching Award.

v Agreeing to serve as Stage Manager for this year’s 2012 High School Graduation.

v Becoming a certified Zumba instructor and teaching Zumba classes at UNCSA’s Fitness Center, 3 times per week, for no compensation (His classes bring the entire campus together; faculty, staff, high school students, college students from different departments and all arts disciplines across campus—promoting good health and increasing the overall positive energy in the UNCSA campus community.  This class has been the best ‘morale booster’ we have seen in quite some time. It is fascinating how something so simple can bring a community together through exercise.

v Hosting/Instructing a 2-hour Zumba-thon, on Saturday, March 24, 2012 to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank.

v Outside of UNCSA, Edwin currently serves on the Board of the Adam Foundation, whose mission is to “promote the identity, strength, and well-being of the local gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community and supports organizations serving persons living with HIV and AIDS.”  This year, the Adam Foundation has championed and supported the Tim Miller Project that recently took place on UNCSA’s campus.  In October of this year, Edwin continued to Chair the annual Adam Festival to raise funds to support local projects related to its mission.

v Edwin’s smile and personality brightens a room when he enters it.

v Edwin, also an alumni of UNCSA, is someone who truly understands the uniqueness of UNCSA and that wholeheartedly supports its mission.  Edwin H. Martinat has mastered the art of providing exemplary support and customer service.”

 On behalf of the Staff Council, “Congratulations, Edwin!  Thank you for everything you do and especially, for your contagious ‘life is a party’ personality.”  

 Respectfully submitted by Mary Graves

THE MAIL CENTER NEEDS PACKING SUPPLIES

It’s that time of the year again when students will be packing up and shipping their things home. The Mail Center is getting low on bubble wrap, bubble cushions and popcorn, so please donate unwanted cushion material to us rather than throwing in the trash. It’s our way of recycling and helps the students at the same time. If you can leave those items in a bag or box, the Mail Center staff will pick them up when they deliver your mail. Although we appreciate your donations, newspaper and Styrofoam are not needed. Paper is too heavy and causes higher shipping costs and Styrofoam is usually too bulky. Thanks in advance for helping us recycle and making these items available to our community.

DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR ONE CARD IN THE FALL

Please make sure to put your One Card in a safe place so you can bring it back in August.

Returning students are reminded to bring their One Card back in the fall. You use the same card for all the years you are at UNCSA. Also, Pickle Dollars, money you put on your card for laundry, copies, etc, DOES carry over to next term.

Bonus Bucks, funds that are a bonus to your meal plan, DO NOT carry over to next term. You need to use them up.

If you are NOT returning in the fall and have a Pickle Dollar account balance of $25 or more you can apply to have the funds refunded to you.  Please visit the One Card web page at:  http://www.uncsa.edu/onecard/#policies. You will note that there are 2 forms to complete. You can find them here:  http://www.uncsa.edu/onecard/RefundRequest.pdf, http://www.uncsa.edu/purchasing/TaxpayerForm.pdf.

 Have a GREAT Summer!
