He is a retired chemist who taught chemistry and photography at UNCW after retiring from Union Carbide Corporation and moving to Wilmington in 1986.

GENERAL MEETING - JAMIE MONCRIEF, Coordinator of Photographic Services, Marketing and Communications for UNCW. What is a “photojournalist-style”? And how can a photojournalistic approach to photograph make a social difference. Jamie will talk a little about his career in photojournalism, the transition newspapers are making from still photography to video and multimedia, and how folks can share their passion of photography with others to incite social change. Since 2005, Jamie has been the university’s first full-time photographer, documenting the people, places and events of the university. Before beginning his career at UNCW, Jamie spent more than 20 years working as a photojournalist. Upon graduation in 1985 from the School of Journalism at UNC Chapel Hill, Jamie went to work at the Wilmington Star-News as a staff photographer. After 14 years, he was promoted to Chief Photographer and then left in 2005.
