Employee Spotlight: Ben Jenkins


Ben Jenkins is originally from Golden, Colorado and works as a University Aide in Network Communications in the IM&T department. Ben graduated from UNC in May with a double major in accounting and CIS. He also played basketball at UNC last year. He was the Vice President of Beta Alpha Psi, a professional accounting organization. He has worked for IM&T for a total of almost two years.


Ben’s girlfriend Austyn, pictured with him above, also goes to UNC and will graduate in December. He has a step brother and two step sisters that live in California. Some of his hobbies include basketball and hunting. Ben is currently studying for the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate). He hopes to use this to expand his knowledge in networking and to use it for his future career. He hopes that he can use it to help the networking team here at UNC.

Ben has two French Brittany dogs, Chance who is 7 months old and Maggie who is 10.

He says that his favorite thing about working for IM&T is the people. He says that he works with a great group of guys who all have a good sense of humor. He loves the team atmosphere.

If he could trade jobs with anyone in the world, it would be Pat Riley- the Miami Heat coach. He would want to coach the kind of talent on his team like Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade.
