University Advancement & Alumni Relations

UNCW Parents Council

Who we Are

Dedicated parents who support UNCW with an annual gift of $1,000 or more are invited to join the UNCW Parents Council. Donors at this level are also recognized as Leaders within the UNCW Society. Working hand-in-hand with the university administration, the Parents Council was created nearly a decade ago to ensure you're an informed parent.

The group meets twice during the academic year, once during Family & Alumni Weekend in the fall and also in the spring semester. Members also serve as ambassadors to prospective UNCW students in their geographic areas.

"The Parents Council has given me a behind-the-scenes glance at what goes on, and it's just been fascinating."

Robert Abbotts '85 with family and Chancellor Sartarelli

Parents Council mission:

Involve UNCW parents in activities that promote the university
Enrich students' college experience
Foster student career opportunities
Support the financial needs of the university
Cultivate a positive college experience for both parents and students

How members participate:

Attend two annual meetings on campus with the chancellor, academic leaders and senior administration
Host or attend summer events for incoming students and parents
Serve as ambassadors by identifying future UNCW students
Work together to increase philanthropic support for all Seahawks
