International Education Week

Wednesday, November 4 - Wednesday, November 11, 2020

International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education that emphasize the benefits of global awareness and exchange. Although this year November 16-20 is recognized as International Education Week across the U.S., the Office of International Education is celebrating International Education Week a bit earlier to help bring awareness to international exchange by offering free events throughout the November 4-11 week. 

International Education week focuses on various cultures, traditions, worldwide education and exchanges.  All students, faculty and staff are invited to attend and participate in many events and activities to celebrate throughout the week.
