Who We Are
The UNCW Parents Council is a group of dedicated parents who are committed to enhancing the student experience at the University of North Carolina Wilmington through philanthropic support. Parents who donate $1,000 or more annually to any area of campus are recognized as members.
As a member of the Parents Council, you are invited to engage with university leaders, participate in special events and represent the university as an ambassador in your community. The council focuses on enriching programs that support students' academic and personal success and fostering a positive environment for all Seahawk families.
Join us in continuing to enhance the student experience. Be part of the UNCW Parents Council with your annual gift of $1,000 or more.
