International Education Week

international education week banner

International Education Week (IEW) is an annual celebration of the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide, taking place each November. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of the national efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

At Saint Joseph's University, we host a number of events each year to celebrate International Education Week and encourage more of our students, faculty and staff to become global citizens!

Please check back later this fall for information about this year's International Education Week. In the meantime, see information below about initiatives from past years.
