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 uncw.edu/diversity to learn more about the Office of Institutional Diversity & Inclusion.

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.
