It stemmed from a task force initiated by Chancellor Patricia Sullivan in 1997, in response to a significant influx of immigrants settling in the state. The task force, comprising faculty, staff, and community representatives, advocated for improved access to education, healthcare, and job training for these newcomers. Chancellor Sullivan advocated to the UNC Board of Governors and President Molly Broad, resulting in the establishment of the Center to address these needs. Led by Dr. Raleigh Bailey, the Center absorbed existing programs like the ACCESS Program, which focused on providing culturally appropriate services to immigrant communities. Over the years, it expanded its initiatives, welcoming participation from faculty and students across universities in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":57,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"hide_page_title":"yes","hide_breadcrumbs":"yes","hide_featured_image":"","_meta_field_banner_image":[],"_meta_field_nav_page_parent_limit":"0","_meta_field_nav_page_depth_limit":"0","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-38125","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!--
