The Center for the Support of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CSURF) is a central resource for students, faculty, and staff dedicated to coordinating opportunities and information related to undergraduate research and creative activity. CSURF additionally coordinates the application and nomination process for competitive national scholarships and fellowships for undergraduates. The Center is housed in the Office of High Impact Practices.
Office of High Impact Practices

The Office of High Impact Practices provides support for faculty, staff, students, and community partners to effectively develop, implement, and assess a range of applied learning and high impact practices (HIPs). The Office of HIPs has built on the successes of ETEAL (Experiencing Transformative Education through Applied Learning), which served as the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for UNCW from 2013-2018.
The Center for Teaching Excellence
https://www.uncw.edu/cte
The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) provides workshops on a variety of teaching issues, encourages innovations in teaching through awarding stipends for course development, and supports continued education in the scholarship of teaching by subsidizing travel to teaching conferences. Its mission is to foster a campus-wide climate where teaching is highly valued, as well as provide leadership in the application of scholarship to teaching. CTE encourages efforts to achieve excellence in teaching by running programs for course development and improvement, implementing new instructional technologies, and providing support services. CTE also conducts orientations for new faculty and works to integrate them into the university community.
The Center for Faculty Leadership
https://uncw.edu/myuncw/academics/cfl
The Center for Faculty Leadership (CFL) is dedicated to developing and sustaining the high quality of academic leadership central to supporting the mission of the university and achieving the goals outlined in its strategic plan. The center serves as a resource for individuals with aspirations for academic leadership; as a training center for newly appointed department chairs, division coordinators, and program directors; and as a retooling center for current, mid-level academic leaders interested in improving the quality of their academic programs and/or advancing their professional careers in university administration. Information and assistance emphasize exploration, experimentation, and networking with programs presented in a variety of formats: informal discussions, formal workshops, guest lectures, conferences, networking and alliance building, mentoring and shadowing. The center’s mission encourages collaborative initiatives by the faculty. Thus, the center also serves as a resource for faculty-generated initiatives that require institutional support beyond the departmental or program level.
The Office of Distance Education and eLearning
https://www.uncw.edu/oel
The Office of Distance Education and eLearning, a unit of the Academic Affairs division, provides support to faculty through individualized instruction and assistance in a variety of formats. Resources are allocated to support the development of online courses using the most current, pedagogically sound and dynamic learning strategies. Working collaboratively with Information Technology Systems, the office sponsors workshops and initiatives which focus on helping faculty design quality online courses and on increasing faculty expertise in employing cutting-edge instructional technology.
Gender Studies Resource Center
https://www.uncw.edu/gsrc
The Gender Studies and Resource Center is an interdisciplinary and intersectional community of students, scholars, and advocates committed to social justice and equity for marginalized peoples. Our intellectual framework stems from gender and sexuality studies. The Center works with campus, local, and wider community partners through online teaching, research support, programming, and service activities that further social justice and work to combat social inequality at every level. In addition, we offer professional workshops and leadership opportunities for students, staff, faculty, and community members as we strive for solutions to address gender-based discrimination and develop inclusive communities at UNCW and across the globe. The Center also provides physical space for gathering, resources, and referrals for the UNCW and Wilmington communities.
