Welcoming a new season on UNCW's campus

While the leaves turning colors of reds and oranges brings beautiful changes on campus, it also brings back many memories for alumni. The weather’s chill has the students putting on their coats, but it’s not quite cold enough to put away the teal rainbows. The sporadic seventy degree days lure Seahawks to dig their feet in the sand, even in December. Daylight savings time begins and suddenly getting out of class at 4:45 pm seems too late.

Walk around campus and you will hear students buzzing about their exam schedules and how excited they are for the upcoming break. Although weeks away, the festive decorations on campus spur conversations about holiday plans and travels.

Head over to Trask to enjoy a basketball game and notice that although Midnite Madness has passed, spirit filled nights still keep the excitement high for our student athletes. Cheers erupt from the bleachers and the dance team and pep band entertain the crowd during halftime.

Kenan Auditorium, Lumina Theater and the Cultural Arts Building showcase a full schedule with holiday entertainment for all ages. Performances by current students, alumni and others can be enjoyed with family and friends.

As the semester comes to a close and the holidays are upon us, we welcome another season on UNCW’s campus.
