About the Cause
Preparing students to be successful in the world of tomorrow and to be life-long learners committed to connecting with and giving back to their communities is the mission of the College of Arts and Sciences. The CAS is UNCW’s largest academic unit and is comprised of departments representing the arts, the humanities, the mathematical and natural sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences.
Applied learning is a hallmark of the student experience in the College of Arts and Sciences. Each of the College’s departments requires an applied learning experience as a part of the curriculum for its undergraduate majors. Examples include faculty-directed research, internships, service learning, and capstone courses/projects, all of which challenge students to integrate various strands of knowledge and to apply that knowledge to broader real-world situations. Through applied learning, students in the college gain direct hands-on experience with the skills relevant to their major as an essential part of their preparation for life and career. Proceeds from the race will go to supporting these types of experiences.
