| Summary: | This article provides an overview of how a university can serve as a resource for newcomer empowerment in light of changing demographics. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Center for New North Carolinians (CNNC) was established during a time of dramatic demographic change in the state due to immigrant in-migration. CNNC began with a commitment to culturally appropriate outreach services that empower immigrant communities. This article is adapted from and expands upon a presentation by the author at a symposium on Mexican immigration to the Southeastern US, held in 2005, hosted by the Consul General of Mexico. |
