Unprecedented Success: The Campaign for UNCW
BY: MISSY A. KENNEDY ’01
Like No Other: The Campaign for UNCW has made history, raising over $134.2 million— the university’s most successful campaign ever.
While the financial achievements highlighted are notable, the true success lies in the transformative impact on our programs and people. Philanthropy has empowered UNCW to address critical issues like climate change, sustainable seafood, flood prevention and toxin research. Through private support, we have been able to confront the nursing workforce shortage, supporting quality healthcare for the future. Additionally, we are preparing graduates to meet evolving workforce demands through the establishment of new degree programs.
Of course, our programs are a point of pride, but UNCW’s top priority remains its people. Time and time again, this historic campaign highlighted the strength of the Seahawk family. Together, we endured hurricanes, the loss of the legendary Vice Chancellor Pat Leonard and a global pandemic. Our family of donors consistently stood together and supported areas of need like the UNCW Student Emergency Fund, Hawk’s Harvest Food Pantry and other student success programs.
Your generosity was felt during celebratory moments as well, from CAA championships to welcoming Chancellor Volety ‘back to the nest.’ Thank you for honoring these memories and milestones with your support.
It’s clear Seahawks soar higher together.
