Student North Carolina Association of Educators (SNCAE)
Saint Augustine's Chapter

The Department of Education through the Mellon TEAM Project has re-established the Student North Carolina Association of Educators (SNCAE) Saint Augustine's College Chapter. This association provides an opportunity for the faculty mentors and student mentees to engage in professional development activities that will enhance the mentees' learning and professional development. The students will become familiar with the fundamentals of membership in a professional organization.
