The week of November 18 - 22 is known as "International Education Week." The goal of the initiative is to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. International Education Week is a joint effort between the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education.
At ¶À¼Ò±¬ÁÏ, it’s seen as another way to promote programs that prepare students for a global environment and to study, learn and exchange experiences with one another. The ¶À¼Ò±¬ÁÏ student body is truly diverse, with more than 50 languages being spoken on any given day.
