International Education Week 2009
"Change Your World" - November 16-20
International Education Week (IEW) was launched in 2009 as a joint initiative of the United States Departments of State and Education.
This year the University of Evansville will host our third 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, but our focus will be on the accomplishments and aspirations of our own UE community members - students, staff, faculty, alumni, family, and friends - as they seek to change our world.
Inquiries regarding IEW or IEW events can be sent to studyabroad@evansville.edu.
International Education Week at UE is sponsored in part by grants from the Office of Diversity Initiatives and the Institute for Global Enterprise in Indiana.
