"UNCW is an outstanding institution in a wonderful community. It's an exciting time for me personally, as well as for my family. I'm really looking forward to working with Chancellor Sartarelli, Jimmy Bass and everyone at UNCW," McGrath said. "Ever since I began visiting the Wilmington area, UNCW has always been a dream job for me. I've been following the program for some time. It's on the upswing, and we want move it forward from there. I'm looking forward to the challenge and using what was accomplished the past two years as a springboard for the future."
