International Education Week (IEW) 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 is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. To celebrate IEW, the Internationa Programs is hosting a series of events during the week. The final event on Thursday, 11/21 includes cultural fashion show, global expo, and international student appreciation lunch.

Student Life and Leadership presents the Pioneer Leadership Certificate Program. The Pioneer Leadership Certificate (PLC) Program is an 8-week leadership program for emerging student leaders. In the PLC Program, students will be able to identify how their experiences and backgrounds are strengths, build their confidence, and develop their leadership philosophy and skills.

The Intergroup Training of faculty and staff will center around social justice education, to blend theory and experiential learning in order to facilitate students' learning about social group identity, social inequality, and intergroup relations. The training will prepare faculty and staff to better prepare students to live and work in a diverse world and educate them in making choices that advance equity and justice.
