Flight Night is a time to celebrate before you soar! On May 15, we had a blast welcoming the newest class of grads into the alumni community with flights of ice cream, prizes, games, and their alumni scarves. Alums from across the decades came back to cheer them on (literally and figuratively) by serving ice cream, praying over them, and sharing words of wisdom on how to make the most out of being alums. We can't wait to see how God uses these Eagles, with 32,000 fellow alumni cheering them on!

2026 Alumni T-Shirt Design Contest

Creative Eagles, this is your moment! Alumni t-shirts are a beloved annual tradition, and this year, we want to take them to the next level.

We believe alumni tees should be designed by alumni, for alumni. That’s why we’re launching an Alumni T-Shirt Design Contest!
Design submissions are due by May 31. Once all submissions are in, the entire alumni community will have the opportunity to vote and help choose the winning design.

So bring your best ideas, bold creativity, and Eagle pride. Start by viewing the guidelines and details and then get to sketching!

Alumni Council members had the opportunity to tour the School of Engineering building at UNW with Dr. Siu-Yue Tam. The innovation and creativity happening is amazing and it's no surprise the program is growing.
