Chapter One
The English Club is an organization open to all UNCW students (regardless of major) with a common interest in literature (including both "serious" and popular literature) as well as in related areas such as film, drama, American studies, and popular culture. To promote such an interest, the English Club (beyond regular meetings and social-recreational functions) sponsors such events as informal discussion forums; encourages the support of various cultural resources within the community; shares in the many cultural opportunities provided both on and off campus, including theatrical performances, special film screenings, and poetry and fiction readings.

- To promote an interest in literature and English language on campus and in the community.
- To foster the discipline of English in all its aspects, including creative and critical writing.
