Centro Hispano
The mission of Centro Hispano is to nurture students into becoming strong leaders
representative of all the core values of UNC Wilmington, through the promotion of academic
excellence, cultural representation, and leadership development. Centro Hispano serves as a
link between students and all available resources needed for their academic growth, as well as
for their development as future professionals. The focus is on embracing and nurturing
diversity, on developing student leadership, and on promoting best practices and best use of
resources needed for academic success. The emphasis on diversity is exemplified by a goal of
increasing the representation of the diversity within the Hispanic culture through students,
faculty, staff, campus events, curriculum, and community engagement. The focus on student
leadership development provides students with enrichment opportunities including leadership
conference, leadership seminars and certificates, as well as leadership roles within our campus
and community.
Women’s Studies and Resource Center
The Women’s Studies and Resource Center strives to create an interdisciplinary community
of scholars working in the areas of sex, gender, and women’s issues. The center offers
research, programming, education, and advocacy to promote gender equality, both locally and
globally. The Center also provides information and referrals for a variety of UNC
Wilmington and community services and resources. The Women’s Studies and Resource
Center provides students, faculty, staff, and those in the greater Wilmington community with
opportunities to experience the diverse facets of women’s lives, hopes and concerns from
artistic, historical, and other perspectives. The center offers an interdisciplinary Women’s and
Gender Studies minor, opportunities for community outreach and an ongoing calendar of co-
curricular activities which include workshops, lectures and scholarly panels.
LGBTQIA Resource Office
The LGBTQIA Resource Office at the University of North Carolina Wilmington supports
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and allied students, faculty, staff, and
alumni. The office works to create a safe and inclusive environment for the LGBTQIA
community and contribute to a culturally rich campus. Additionally, the office works both to
raise awareness and inclusion of sexual and gender minorities and to provide information,
referral, support, and programming to the UNCW Community. We do this through
community building, advocacy, social justice and diversity education and the development of
global citizens. All members of the UNCW campus are welcome, regardless of gender
identity or other factors.
