Seahawks Soaring Together

Preparing for the conclusion of Like No Other: The Campaign for UNCW, we are reminded that even the most ambitious goal is possible when Seahawks soar together.

As of June 30, 2023, we are proudly 90% toward our $125 million stretch goal.

Since 2015

Nearly $3 million has been donated to enrich our community's culture.

Several new scholarships created opportunities for first-generation students from historically underrepresented communities.

The Latinx population has been the fastest-growing demographic in North Carolina since the 1990s. This is UNCW's largest underrepresented community, with 8% of students identifying as Latinx this past fall.

Donors Luis and Yeraldi Munguia, Gustavo Rodea and Maria Guadalupe Durán '10, '13M, and dedicated staff like Angel Garcia and his wife Abigail lead the way with their scholarship and community support.

In MI CASA, we get the opportunities to get informed, get oriented, to receive support in applying to universities and scholarships.”

As students, we benefitted from alumni involvement. Cheers to us for leaving UNCW an even better place because of our engagement and Seahawk spirit."

- Caroline Krieman shared during the May 2023 Commencement Toast

UNCW is standing in a pivotal moment.

The university emerged from the pandemic in a strong position, and the commitment and support of the campus and community have uplifted UNCW's Seahawk spirit. Under Chancellor Aswani K. Volety's leadership, we will launch a new strategic plan to help us soar even higher in the future.

Where we go from here and how we get there will continue to be influenced by the active involvement of our alumni, donors and friends.
