UNCW is a vibrant educational community and Student Affairs takes pride in furthering the university's mission by encouraging and enhancing student learning in and out of the classroom. We are a student-centered community; our dedication to providing students with personal attention from faculty and staff committed to students' academic and personal success is paramount.

Student Affairs programs and services encourage the development of essential skills that foster personal growth during and beyond the college years. The division's motto, "Creating Experiences for Life," affirms our belief that these essential skills are best developed when students extend themselves by choosing to become involved in campus life. The opportunities to become involved at UNCW are plentiful and diverse.

Whether you visit this site as a current student, proud alum, interested parent, faculty member, prospective student, friend of the university, or a combination thereof, I hope you find the information you seek. Please feel free to contact any member of our division if you have questions or need additional information. We welcome your comments and feedback.
