At UNCW, our students, their education and what they take away from their time here are always at the fore. The experience we provide will continue evolving to better support Seahawks and to champion them as educated, informed and caring 21st-century citizens. Through our Strategic Plan and Campus Master Plan, we have a roadmap to guide where UNCW is going over the next 10 years.
We want to make sure that we are creating academic programs targeting the industries and jobs that are going to help bolster growth into the next decade and beyond. This is illustrated by the university’s ongoing collaboration with local partners to create a healthcare career pipeline, UNCW’s focus on the Blue Economy and the expansion of the campus library.
UNCW recently took the National Esports Collegiate Conference (NECC) Division V championship title with a win over the University of Michigan by our Valorant Team in its first conference championship. Another of our 10 Esports teams, the Rockets League Team, also made it to the NECC conference finals.
When UNCW focuses on challenging problems of individual and local importance, we also are addressing issues of global relevance. By expanding our research and creative scholarship across academic areas, we can empower students and faculty to dream bigger and do more in the years ahead.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy holiday season and a meaningful start to the new year.
Yours in Seahawk spirit,
