There are approximately 280 student organizations registered with Student Involvement and Leadership at UNCW. These organizations include: political, professional, academic, multicultural, religious, service, honorary, governing, graduate, special interest groups, student media, Greek-letter, sports clubs, and ethnic and religious organizations. These organizations help develop the UNCW community through the activities and affiliations they create. Many of the clubs are showcased during the fall Involvement Carnival held in late August/early September. You can find out information about these organizations in the Campus Activities and Involvement Center in the Fisher Student Center, Room 2029 or on WaveLink, UNCW’s student organization and departmental management platform that offers a variety of opportunities to highlight events, showcase resources, and collaborate with others.
Fraternity and Sorority Life
Fraternities and Sororities are social organizations that can help personalize the college experience. Greek Life offers a smooth transition to college, life-long friendships, leadership opportunities, scholastic support, and philanthropic and community engagement opportunities. Each type of organization recruits its members differently and at different times - contact us to learn more! Students interested in fraternity and sorority opportunities can find out about upcoming events on WaveLink at https://uncw.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/ofsl.
International Student Organization
The International Student Organization is a support group, a social network, and a promoter of international programs. The group consists of American students who have traveled and studied abroad and international students who are enrolled at the university. The organization hopes to foster an international presence on the campus and to help international students become familiar with American culture, the local area, and university life.
Leadership Development
At UNCW we believe every student is capable of practicing leadership because it is not about a position or title;, it’s about the desire and drive to create positive change. Student Involvement and Leadership in the department of Campus Life offers workshops, retreats, and personalized coaching that equips students with the skills and tools needed to successfully practice leadership on campus, in the community, and in their careers. Students interested in leadership development opportunities can find out about upcoming events on WaveLink at https://uncw.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/caic/events
Student Community Engagement
Community engagement is much more than a service hour requirement - we make it a priority to connect students with the community in ways that make a positive impact for both the organizations and the volunteers. This can be through volunteer work (on campus, in Wilmington and in other cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, or Asheville), philanthropy projects (like donating a Thanksgiving meal or holiday gifts), or by donating blood (we host monthly drives with the American Red Cross). Students interested in community engagement opportunities can find out about upcoming events on GivePulse: https://uncw.givepulse.com/group/1027-University-of-North-Carolina-Wilmington
Student Government Association: Representing the Voice and Vision of UNCW Students
