Purdue to hold International Education Week events Nov. 17-22

Purdue will observe International Education Week, which is designed to showcase the worldwide benefits of international education and exchange. A joint initiative of the U.S. departments of State and Education, IEW promotes programs that prepare Americans to excel in a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to the U.S. to study, learn and exchange experiences.

Global Partnerships and Programs and Purdue colleges and units have come together this year to plan a week of activities, lectures and experiences that celebrate diversity, intercultural learning, and international research and partnerships.

A schedule of events is available online. In addition, watch Purdue Today next week for the following International Education Week stories:

• “Giant Leaps for Global Impact” campaign and launch video
• Institute of International Education’s annual Open Doors report release
• 2024 Outstanding Leadership in Globalization Award winners
