About the Program

Carolina Navigators is aligned with two of UNC’s top priorities: internationalization and community engagement.  The mission of the program is to prepare all North Carolina students to become informed and effective members of our global community.

We receive funding from the Office of the Provost, the N.C. General Assembly, the U.S. Department of Education, and from individual donors.  This generous support allows us to provide this service free of charge.

With a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, we have developed an Evaluation Tool Kit and an accompanying manual to determine the extent to which programs such as ours achieve their desired outcomes and meet the expectations of teachers, students, presenters, and program administrators.  We encourage program administrators to download this free product.

We also hold an extensive collection of videos, activity books, CDs and Culture Kits in our Resource Library.

We are always interested in receiving your feedback on presentations, expanding our Resource Library, obtaining photos for our gallery, or hearing your ideas for future activities.  Please contact the program coordinator Tara Muller at tara_muller@unc.edu
