International Education Week, Nov. 17-21

October 13, 2014

flagsAll faculty, staff, and students are invited to consider participating in International Education Week (IEW) 2014, observed November 17-21 and hosted by the UP International Club in collaboration with international student services, international languages and cultures, ASUP, and other student clubs. Throughout the week of IEW, the planning committee will be hosting and promoting events across campus that celebrate international education and exchange. To see what has happened in the past, browse the schedule of last year’s events on the IEW website.

Sponsors invite faculty members to consider hosting a lecture or activity during a class session the week of November 17-21 on an international topic related to course content or to encourage any student groups they may advise to host an event. Participation in IEW is wholly optional, and may be designed in any way faculty see fit. The IEW planning committee is happy to discuss ideas for participation in greater detail with any interested faculty. Participating faculty and student groups can use this link to submit IEW class sessions or stand-alone events to the IEW 2014 calendar: http://tinyurl.com/6e8jlwn.

For more information contact international student services at 7367 or iss@up.edu.
