International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Departments of Education and State celebrating international education, will be Nov. 18–22. Each year, campuses across the U.S. mark IEW through programming and events that highlight the importance of international education and exchange.
At Vanderbilt, International Student and Scholar Services facilitates International Education Week, which has traditionally included a diverse range of events. Examples of past IEW events include:
- Foreign film screenings
- International game nights
- Language fairs and tables
- Panel discussions on global issues
- Study abroad information sessions
The event type is flexible, but each event should be related to international education, international/cultural exchange, and/or living in a global environment. Proposals submitted by student organizations are especially encouraged.
Interested in submitting a proposal? Please fill out this form no later than Oct. 23 to be considered for this year’s International Education Week calendar. IEW 2024 is Nov. 18–22, but events that take place the week prior will also be considered for the event calendar.
If you have any questions, please contact Andrea Pietrzyk (andrea.h.pietrzyk@vanderbilt.edu) or Mengling Hu (mengling.hu@vanderbilt.edu) in ISSS.
