International Education Week
International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. It is normally celebrated for a week in November. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for working in a global environment and attract future leaders from other countries to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
