Inspiring Students Locally to Succeed Globally

During November 12-16, 2012, we celebrate the Annual International Education Week. IEW is an opportunity to recognize, reflect on and share the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. The U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education initiated this recognition week as part of a concerted effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
