Message from Chancellor Volety

Our campus marked the start of the new year and semester with the unexpected addition of snow. The storm provided a unique opportunity for students to build lasting memories and forge new friendships while enjoying the winter weather. Such moments of camaraderie are a testament to the spirit and resilience of the UNCW community.
