International Education Week - November 17 - 21, 2008

 

International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. This weeklong observance is part of a continuing promotion of programs that prepare Americans for participation in the global economy and attract future leaders from abroad to study in the United States.

This year's theme, "International Education: Fostering Global Responsibility and Leadership" emphasizes the role of universities in providing a venue for dialogue across many cultures. This dialogue provides opportunities for students to develop critical thinking and understanding on a global level.

Below is a calendar of events that will take place at The University of Arizona in recognition of International Education Week. Please join us in celebrating international education and exchange.
