The Office of International Programs is excited to invite students, faculty and staff to participate in a fun and informative week of events to celebrate International Education Week, Nov. 14-18!

International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education that focuses on the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. The goal is to prepare American students for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.

International Education Week events this year are a combination of in-person, virtual and hybrid activities. RSVP for virtual events you plan to attend in order to receive the Zoom link.
