Strategic Plan

UNCW seal image linking to Seahawk Respect Compact Seahawk Respect Compact In the pursuit of excellence, UNC Wilmington actively fosters, encourages, and promotes inclusiveness, mutual respect, acceptance, and open-mindedness among students, faculty, staff and the broader community. ~ We affirm the dignity of all persons. ~ We promote the right of every person to participate in the free exchange of thoughts and opinions within a climate of civility and mutual respect. ~ We strive for openness and mutual understanding to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions ~ We foster an environment of respect for each individual, even where differences exist, by eliminating prejudice and discrimination through education and interaction with others. Therefore, we expect members of the campus community to honor these principles as fundamental to our ongoing efforts to increase access to and inclusion in a community that nurtures learning and growth for all.
