NCVPS Culture Cafe

The Culture Cafe is a new social and educational setting that brings together current, former and future NCVPS world language students in an online environment in order to immerse them in the culture of online world languages. Former students can stay connected to the language they have learned, current students will get to practice the language and future students can gain a sneak peak at our robust world language courses.
