alumni get involved?
Some just want to reconnect with others who share a common bond and reminisce. Some want to network for job opportunities or to market their businesses. For most, their time at UNCW was unforgettable – and the alumni association fosters occasions to keep the memories of their college days alive. Tracy Pagnozzi ’98, ’00M serves on the Triangle Chapter’s steering committee. “I try, as much as possible, to make connections with other Seahawks in the area. UNCW is the common denominator for us, so the average of our collective experiences must be similar. We may always have something to talk about. In the business world, I think connections and having a good network of resources are also important,” she said.
“What a great opportunity I have to meet other Seahawks, with over 7,000 of us living right here in the Triangle. I also enjoy hearing about fellow Seahawks, who are earning awards and honors while in school. It helps me to know that I am in esteemed company among other Seahawks.” Are you interested in getting involved?
