Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs provides student support, services and educational programs that are accessible to all university community members.

Welcome to Student Affairs!

It is an honor to lead this division full of resolute, experienced and talented staff, whose primary focus is the success and well-being of our Seahawks.

Our departments elevate the Seahawk experience by supplying endless opportunities, enriching programs and valuable resources students use to enhance their professional and personal lives. The skills and experience they develop through our services will last throughout their academic journey and long after they leave our nest with their degree. We encourage them to get involved in the campus experience, explore the surrounding Cape Fear region, and connect with faculty and staff to make their time at UNCW the most beneficial for them.

As you tour our website, I hope you discover more about our departments and the ways we serve our students. If you are seeking additional information or have any questions, please reach out to us. I also encourage you to follow us on Instagram at @uncwstudentaffairs to witness how we help our Seahawks soar high and far.

Let’s soar together!
