CAMPUS ACTIVITIES & INVOLVEMENT CENTER
“Getting involved will do nothing for your
academic success or social life,”
said no one ever.
WELCOME to UNCW, New Students!
UNCWelcome offers you a wide variety of entertaining and engaging social activities as well as informative
events designed to acquaint you with your new community and to prepare you for the academic year.
This is your opportunity to participate in meaningful and exciting activities and make some new friends
as we start the fall semester. We encourage you to check out the comprehensive list of events in this
booklet and attend the events.
Departments all across UNCW have worked diligently to provide events that will appeal to a diverse
audience. Through the wide variety of programs offered, we encourage the full participation
of all students, faculty, and staff including those with disabilities and have worked to make events
and programs accessible to all. Many of the events are specifically targeted to off-campus,
non-traditional and transfer students, so look for those words in the event titles.
The Campus Activities & Involvement Center in the Fisher Student Center, Room 2029, is your
gateway to entertainment, involvement and leadership on campus. Stop by, or visit our website at
www.uncw.edu/activities, and we will help you get connected to campus life.
We also encourage you to check out any of our nearly 300 student organizations. We believe getting
involved is critical to your success as a student at UNCW. Visit www.uncw.edu/studentsorgs to see
the full listing of our clubs and organizations.
Welcome to UNCW and remember, go out and get involved during
UNCWelcome 2015!
