Getting involved is a huge step in your UNCW experience. Whether it is through joining a Registered Student Organization, taking on a part-time job or internship, participating in community service, being a student-athlete, research assistant, resident assistant, and more - choose your place at UNCW. To begin your involvement journey, complete the Involvement Compass on WaveLink to receive personal recommendations from the Campus Activities & Involvement Center (CAIC).

Representation and Accessibility at UNCW

Many events serve as opportunities for students to learn about and appreciate diversity. In addition, these events may serve as safe for spaces for students of various intersectional identities. Diversity includes but is not limited to race, sexual orientation, gender, age, faith, dis(ability), political affiliation, veteran's status, socioeconomic circumstances, language, and more. Visit the Office of Institutional Diversity & Inclusion to learn more.

During UNCWelcome and beyond, we encourage the full participation of all UNCW community members. Event organizers make strong efforts to develop events and programs accessible for all. Should you have questions or concerns about accessibility, please contact the sponsoring department for that event with additional information. For information on how you can receive support, visit the Disability Resource Center.

Well-being at UNCW

Be a Healthy Hawk through UNCW's well-being initiative focusing on a holistic approach to daily life with an emphasis on the eight dimensions of well-being. Whether through UNCWelcome or year-round, engage with all eight dimensions by attending events and utilizing resources available to you. Discover how you can be healthy at Healthy Hawks.
