CIS Diversity

Collaboration and Networking

CIS' international focus is its collaboration and networking with local, state, national, and international resource people and organizations.

We participate in international programming sponsored by UNC-Chapel Hill’s “World View: An International Program for Educators.” This office organizes seminars, residential leadership programs for educators, international study visits, an annual symposium, and a “partners” program with NC school districts, community colleges and universities.

Our Local International Community

We envision CIS serving as a resource center for the international community in and around Cabarrus County which includes sponsorship of cultural celebrations and festivals, offering language and citizenship classes, and service projects with international groups. Collaborators include the International House in Charlotte, the Charlotte Sister Cities Program, the Mayor’s International Cabinet, the NC International Educators Association, UNC-Charlotte’s International Programs office.
