Giving Back

A Bear’s Life: Zach Bunney ‘09 Business Major

8 am—I start my day with classes in the Monfort College of Business. I’m taking everything from marketing to accounting with an emphasis in management.

12:30 pm—I usually meet up with classmates at the University Center for lunch and work on group projects.

1:30 pm—I go to my final class of the day, Economics of Gender, a required course for my minor in economics. It’s a very interesting class about gender differences and how they affect economic decisions and impact the overall performance of the economy. It’s fun but the homework is pretty time consuming.

2:20 pm—I take advantage of time after class to work in Michener Library. I just finished writing an essay that outlined the management experience I gained while interning with Target Corporation over the summer.

3:30 pm—I meet up with a coworker at the Campus Recreation Center to exercise before work.

5 pm—I clock in at the UNC Foundation Call Center where I’m a student caller. Each night we call hundreds of UNC alumni and friends to ask for their support of the Annual Fund, which allows the university to enhance programs and offer scholarships. It’s the best job on campus. I enjoy talking to alumni and hearing stories about their own time at UNC. The best part is making calls just to say thank you—those are fun.
