As Commencement approaches, the UNCW Alumni Association is inviting the Class of 2025 to celebrate their achievements and share their graduation moments through the #SoaringOn social media contest. The contest officially kicks off Tuesday, April 15, and the winner will be selected and contacted the week of May 20.
Graduates can showcase their Seahawk pride by posting photos and videos that capture their personal Commencement experience — whether it’s donning a cap and gown, receiving a diploma, or celebrating with family and friends. By using the hashtag #SoaringOn on Instagram, X, and Threads, participants will have the chance to win exclusive prizes from the UNCW Alumni Association.
Winners will be randomly selected, but creativity and school spirit are a must! Three lucky Seahawks will be chosen for first, second, and third-place prizes and will be contacted the week of May 20.
Once a Seahawk, always a Seahawk! No matter where the journey beyond UNCW takes new graduates, the alumni Seahawk network is always within reach. The UNCW Alumni Association is proud to officially welcome the Class of 2025 and encourages all members to explore alumni benefits along with ways to stay connected and get involved at alumni.uncw.edu.
Stay tuned to alumni.uncw.edu/calendar for upcoming alumni events — such as Weekend in Wilmington in June — and remain informed on UNCW happenings by following the UNCW Alumni Association on Facebook and Instagram.
