2018-2019
On behalf of the beautiful Black Community of both UNCW and Wilmington, I welcome you to our campus and city! We have been awaiting your arrival to our community and we hope that our correspondence will help to deepen your connection with the over 900+ black students of UNCW, 100+ black faculty and staff of UNCW, and 24,000 black residents of Wilmington and the surrounding community. There is much to learn and do here in this
university by the sea. Thus, we encourage you to breathe in deeply the air of history that surrounds us. Sit under the sun of cultural nuance where the Gullah-Geechee nation lights our path to age-old Black linguistic and culinary traditions. And lastly, taste the sea-salt of freedom that began in 1962 when our campus was integrated! Without a doubt, you are encouraged to become a Seahawk, and fly off in the distant future as a mythic Sankofa bird! Again, welcome! - Sean H. Palmer, Director
Welcome from the Director
