The Center for New North Carolinians
CNNC Research Fellows
Part of the mission of CNNC is to conduct and promote immigrant research in North Carolina. The Center recruits academics and professionals engaged with immigrant communities to collaborate around immigrant issues in the state. In the 2006 program year, CNNC launched the Center Research Fellows to promote research and link with the AmeriCorps ACCESS Professional Corps.
CNNC Research Fellows are professionals and academics who are part of CNNC through their immigrant related education and research projects. Research Fellows utilize CNNC resources and networks as part of their research and outreach projects; collaborate with CNNC staff, faculty, and programs in research and outreach education; and contribute to the successful integration of immigrants through their projects.
Research Fellows: September, 2008 - August, 2009
