Give Back, Share Experiences, Exchange Culture
We’re looking for student volunteers to act as mentors to incoming international students. Seahawk Connections offer advice and friendship, and they are encouraged to become a part of the international student community at events throughout the semester.
Why become a Seahawk Connection?
Pay it forward
When you studied abroad, did local students help you and show you around? Did they extend a hand of friendship? You can do the same for UNCW’s international students.
Make UNCW a welcoming place for new students
Did you feel adrift while abroad, and wish you had more help from local students? Make sure our own international students feel at home on our campus and have the best experience possible.
Have an international experience without leaving Wilmington
Missing your time abroad or gearing up to go? Wish you could extend your international experience? Or maybe you didn’t get to go abroad at all. Create your own international experience right here on campus.
Improve your foreign language skills
Want to practice a second language? We’ll try to pair you with a student who speaks it fluently so you can have a language exchange right here in Wilmington.
