International Education Week

During the week of November 18-22, Northeastern will celebrate International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, which promotes global education and exchange experiences. With over 14,000 international students and scholars and hundreds of intercultural opportunities across the globe, NU recognizes the interdependence among nations and values the diversity of our collective experiences, perspectives, and thoughts. This rich institution truly is greater than the sum of its parts. During International Education Week 2019, we will honor these values with the theme: “Listen. Learn. Advocate”.

In honor of this year’s IEW theme (Listen. Learn. Advocate), we hope that the NU community can pledge to make lasting change. We can only fulfill our mission as the third leading institution for international students if our campus is welcoming to students, faculty, staff, and community, and if we succeed in educating all students for success in a diverse twenty-first century world.
What can you do to contribute to lasting change? We invite you to take the pledge to take action to make lasting change.

During IEW we will be hosting a variety of events that are listed on the attached poster. Please encourage students, faculty and staff to attend these events and help spread the word about IEW! We will be sending students to drop off hard copies of the IEW poster at your respective offices next week. In addition, please find the full list of events and descriptions on our website.

We appreciate your support in this initiative and hope to see you at some events!
