International Education Week 2011
November 14-18
International Education Week (IEW) was launched in 1999 as a joint initiative of the United States Departments of State and Education. This year the University of Evansville will host our fifth annual International Education Week program series to recognize the critical role of international scholarship and cultural exchange in the development of global citizens. As we celebrate at UE, we will join educational institutions from around the country and around the world in this initiative, yet our focus will be on the accomplishments and aspirations of our own UE community members - students, staff, faculty, alumni, colleagues, family, and friends - as they engage the world. Inquiries regarding IEW or IEW events can be sent to studyabroad@evansville.edu.
