Compliance Corner Summer Employment As the semester winds down, many of UVa's student-athletes will be entering the summer job market. The Athletics Compliance Office would like to remind our VAF members, in the event you should hire a student-athlete, please be aware of the following NCAA and Athletics Compliance Office rules: • The student-athlete and the employer must complete the Student-Athlete Employment Form and return it to the Compliance Office prior to the start of his or her employment. Please direct the student-athlete to contact the Compliance Office to obtain the form. • The student-athlete must be compensated for work actually performed. Although this seems straightforward, there have been recent NCAA major infractions at other schools where student-athletes were paid for fictitious jobs. • Compensation is paid commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services. • Increased compensation may not be provided to the student-athlete for his or her reputation, fame, or personal following that they may have obtained because of their athletics ability. • The employer and employee cannot publicize (or allow for publicity of) the student-athlete's name, image, or picture as an employee; or participate in any form of promotion for the employer (e.g., commercials, brochures, flyers, contests, etc.). If you have any questions about student-athlete employment, please contact the Compliance Office at 434-982-5018 or email at athleticscompliance@virginia.edu. As always, thank you for your support and GO 'HOOS! Eric Baumgartner Associate Athletics Director for Compliance From the Desk of the VAF Development Intern Hello Cavalier Fans!

With eight home games on the schedule this year, we are already preparing for an exciting 2013 football season and I am able to assist with many of the communications that take place during this time, as I have transitioned into my fourth and final stage of the development internship. I am now working with our directors and annual giving assistants. Some of my responsibilities include assisting with football season ticket follow-up planning and procedures, assisting directors with prospect identification, donor and prospect research, reports and list management. I will also accompany directors to some of their meetings with donors to get a better understanding of the relationship management aspect of their job. I am really enjoying this as the last part of my internship because it encompasses everything that I have learned so far. I have found that throughout each phase of this
