International Education Week 2024
International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. To honor this initiative, the Office of International Students and Global Programs, in collaboration with campus partners, is hosting a series of events and activities—both on campus and online—to recognize the value of cross-cultural learning and global engagement.
