What is International Education Week?

International Education Week (IEW) is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education that celebrates the benefits of international education and exchange across campuses worldwide. At UCF, we encourage campus-wide participation in IEW; students, faculty, offices, and departments are invited to collaborate and contribute. Our events, discussions, panels, and more further our campus in flourishing as a global environment for domestic students and students from abroad. If you have a UCF event for IEW, please let us know.
