NC State has a rich history of providing and delivering unique opportunities and educational programs to counties. The Connecting in North Carolina (CINC) Tour is an opportunity for new faculty/staff to gain a better understanding of the University’s outreach across counties and the impacts of those efforts, and put a face to the people doing the work and making an impact on their county/region. 

This year the CINC Tour will be held June 6-7, with several stops throughout Eastern NC, with a formal dinner and overnight accommodations in New Bern. Each college/department may send up to 3 representatives, including those that may be on the Engagement Operations Council. To reserve your spot on the tour, please complete this form by Friday, April 21. Please note there are 24 spots remaining.
