Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ the NNIC

NNIC invests in the future of local and world leaders by creating unique platforms and innovative opportunities for Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ns to get involved in global issues. Whether it is through a dinner conversation with a delegation of African entrepreneurs or by participating in a youth leadership project with participants from around the world, NNIC offers once in a lifetime opportunities to learn how similar we are and how our differences can actually strengthen and unite us. Our refugee resettlement programs offer volunteer projects ranging from participating in World Refugee Day, meeting with clients weekly to open mail, or teaching English as a Second Language. Combined, these programs are designed to foster global relations through dialogue, laughter and connection, one handshake at a time.

Keystone programs implemented by NNIC include the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the Mandela Washington Fellowship (MWF) and various other exchange programs funded by the U.S. Department of State.

NNIC programs

Our key programs include the following:

  • International exchanges: organizing programs for international delegations through the U.S. Department of State and other federal agencies
  • Providing language access: providing interpretation and translation services for more than 200 languages through our Language Bank
  • Resettling displaced individuals: serving as northern Βι¶ΉΣ³»­'s refugee resettlement agency to help displaced persons and victims of human trafficking
  • Deepening cultural understandings: organizing educational events and activities for the university and general community to draw closer to our neighbors across the globe.

The NNIC hosts the Global Gala, our primary fundraiser, where we celebrate our community and showcase our efforts to increase international awareness in Βι¶ΉΣ³»­. The Gala features vibrant performances and demonstrations and acknowledges the role Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ plays in a complex globe.
