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."
