International Education Week

Every third week of November, organizations around the world celebrate International Education Week (IEW). Celebrated globally since 2000, IEW provides an opportunity to highlight the benefits of internationalization efforts worldwide.

The goal for the week is to expand perspectives, foster dialogue and reflect the spirit of co-operation and collaboration required in all international education efforts.

Celebrate #IEW2023 with these events

Build your own Faculty-led Classroom Abroad (FLCA)

Monday, November 13,
10 – 11 a.m.
and
Wednesday, Nov. 15, 3 – 4 p.m.

Have you considered taking students abroad but found yourself overwhelmed by how to get started? Global Learning Facilitator Danielle Harder will offer two sessions during International Education Week to walk you through the steps of a Faculty-led Classroom Abroad (FLCA), from application to virtual or in-person in-country visit. You can hear from experienced faculty who have taken students around the world and get started on your application. The deadline for FLCA applications is February 1 for travel next year, so now is the time to start planning!
