International Education Week (IEW), November 18-22, 2024, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education aims to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

- Preserve and celebrate our interconnected cultural and linguistic heritages and shared environment
- Foster togetherness via intercultural dialogue
- Encourage interdisciplinary discourse about global pressures that threaten our shared heritage, including English dominance, forced migration, and climate change
