Global Leadership and International Engagement Student Conference

Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte graciously hosted NCAIE for our 2024 Global Leadership and International Engagement Student Conference! It was a fantastic day, and we had our largest turnout on record, with 75+ college students in attendance. This year’s service project was to make “reverse swag bags” for International House Charlotte, which will be given to local students of immigrant families.
