International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity for the Penn State community to celebrate and promote the benefits of global education and worldwide exchange throughout its colleges, campuses and community organizations.

This year Penn State, sponsored by Global Programs will celebrate IEW week Oct. 22-27, to recognize Penn State’s international students from more than 100 countries around the world, as well as those studying abroad each year. The week-long event takes place in advance of the scheduled national event, a joint initiative of the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Department of Education.

University Libraries will host The Many Faces of Intercultural Dialogue: A Showcase, a free public event to encourage cross-cultural communication between students, faculty and members of the Penn State Community.  Hear from international conversation partner poster presenters and find out more about multicultural resources available for the campus and community. Thursday, Oct. 26, 2:30-4 p.m. Franklin Atrium, Pattee Library and Foster Auditorium, Paterno Library.
