Recent Alumna Publishes Children’s Book featuring Sammy C. Hawk

“Hello, Sammy C. Hawk!” is a wonderful new children’s book authored by UNCW alumna Katie White ’09.  The book was written by Katie while working as an intern in UNCW’s Office of Marketing and Communications. White was chosen to write the book because of her history of working with Storytelling in the Community, a program that sends students to local kindergarten and elementary school classrooms. White now lives in New York, but recently returned to campus to sign copies of the book.

In the book, Sammy C. Hawk, takes a young fan on a tour of campus. “Timmy”, the young fan, is also told about many of UNCW’s favorite traditions and activities, including the alumni TEALgate pre-game social, held during the basketball season, where alumni gather to celebrate and cheer on UNCW. 

The book sells for $14.95 and you can pick up your copy at the bookstore on campus, or online. Autographed copies of the book are being given away as door prizes at select upcoming alumni events!
