Halanych has earned international recognition for his research on marine invertebrate evolution and genomics. He is the current editor-in-chief of Biological Bulletin. Halanych holds a Ph. A Purposeful Path Four students from the international studies, computer science and fine arts departments designed a series of interactive mini walking tours in Wilmington based on the Parisian Situationist practice of psychogeography.
Julia Morris, assistant professor of international studies, organized a workshop for the students with staff from the Historic Wilmington Foundation. Participants can virtually follow the walks online or complete them in person. The CEE was created from an applied learning project spanning the disciplines of environmental science, education and computer science.
Some of the resources available through CEE include videos of ranger-guided ecosystem tours, visuals of the hiking trails and lesson plans for teachers. It will be delivered as a four-year residential program and as a degree advancement online accelerated program designed for respiratory care therapists in the workforce.
The university will launch its bachelor of science programs in cybersecurity and intelligent systems engineering in fall , pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The cybersecurity program involves both the disciplines of computer science and information systems, and is a collaboration between the College of Arts and Sciences and Cameron School of Business.
The intelligent systems engineering degree brings together computing and engineering disciplines and the liberal arts to prepare students to succeed in an area that is becoming increasingly important for industry, government and society. Since then, she has represented her country as a member of the Myanmar National Team and has consistently made the list of top female golfers on the World Amateur Golf rankings.
At the time of publication, Khine ranked out of 3, golfers. Other programs are also in various stages of development spanning the humanities, arts, social sciences, natural sciences, business, engineering and computing.

He has worked with Gladwell on previous projects. Constructing Compassion Twenty UNCW women faculty and staff members donned hard hats and construction belts to help build a home for a family who lost their house during Hurricane Florence.
Once he had that measurement and determined the bottom of the wave, he could estimate its height. The answer: 95 feet, 10 inches — more than 15 feet higher than the previous record of 80 feet. McNamara, who has taught classes on the physics of the sport, met Barnes shortly after moving to Wilmington in Barnes was one of a number of young surfers who mastered the local waves.
As of publication, no announcement had been made as to whether his wave will officially be listed as a world record for the largest wave ever surfed, but it was certainly a contender for the XXL Big Wave Awards, sponsored by the World Surf League. In his case, he had only a photo of Barnes surfing the wave to go on.
While Barnes chases records and the next big wave, McNamara acknowledges that the calculation could potentially pique the interest of prospective students who are eager to find a university that offers strong academics and the recreational benefits of coastal living. If you like the ocean and are math- or physics-minded, UNCW is a great place to come. The lab facilitates community academic partnership in rural health research and evidence-based practice, innovation and workforce development to address current and future regional system performance and population health goals.

History professor Larry Usilton has taught thousands of students about the past. Usilton was 24 years old and fresh out of graduate school when he joined the university in At the time, UNCW had seven academic buildings, a library, a dining hall and a gymnasium.
Enrollment was about 1, students, he said, not the approximately 18, Seahawks who now attend the university. Usilton was recognized by the university in when he was inducted into the Order of Isaac Bear. The Order, founded in by former Chancellor William H. In , Usilton was presented with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine for his outstanding contributions to his field, students, peers and community.

His mentor, Mississippi State University professor Charles Lewis, sparked his interest in ancient and medieval history and academia. He died in an automobile accident at the age of 39, a few years after Usilton started teaching at UNCW.
Usilton hopes his students remember him as someone who made history interesting. He also encouraged students to maintain an eagerness to learn even after leaving UNCW. Between and , he served as chair of the department. He hopes to continue the travel program during his retirement, which began in May.
Shaw, who was instrumental in developing successful bridge programs at Drexel University and University of Illinois, has devoted her career to helping students thrive in college and beyond. Such programs attempt to address the high attrition rates of some student populations, particularly those who are identified as low-income or first-generation college students.
Research supports that bridge programs have a positive impact on student retention rates and student success. Next steps include piloting potential program initiatives during the academic year. By summer , Shaw anticipates the bridge program will be fully operational with a permanent program director and support staff in place to welcome its first cohort of students.
The program plans to invite a cohort of incoming Fall admitted students identified through their applications as those who would most benefit from the program to participate. Beaufort Columbus Craven Cumberland Jones Pasquotank Too often, first-generation and low-income students think attending a four-year institution is out of reach.
To change this misconception. In , CAC deployed more than advisers from 31 partner universities in high schools in 17 states. The advisers served , students. Recent UNCW alumni will help high school students navigate the often-confusing process of college admission, financial aid and matriculation.
By engaging recent college graduates as advisers, students will have a current perspective of the college experience. Advisers will be placed in Beaufort, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Jones and Pasquotank counties beginning with the academic year. College Advising Corps is a national nonprofit that partners with colleges and state and local governments to increase post-secondary enrollment for low-income, first-generation and underrepresented students.
Because College Advising Corps is an AmeriCorps partner, college advisers receive AmeriCorps benefits such as a yearly education award in addition to their paid salaries that can be used for continuing education and loan forgiveness. UNCW announces revised schedule for the fall semester.
