Who we Are
Parents Council is comprised of philanthropic leaders who are recognized for their commitment to UNCW, and their desire to create an exceptional learning experience for all Seahawks.
Parents who support UNCW with an annual gift of $1,000 or more are automatically included in the UNCW Parents Council. These generous supporters are also recognized as Leaders within the UNCW Society.

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.
If you have questions about giving to UNCW, contact Elizabeth Overton at (910) 962.2132 or by email.
