International Education Week 2025!

Office of International Education & Study Abroad celebrated International Education Week, Nov. 17 - 21, 2025.

We held various activities throughout the week to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange on campus. We thank all of the staff and international student representatives for making the activities interesting and helpful, and we thank the many students who visited and participated.

International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, and it promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
