International Education Week 2024
|
|
International Education Week (IEW) is a time to unite and celebrate international activities across our Colleges, fostering global competence. This year, IEW will be November 18-22, 2024. As a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, our focus on promoting these activities is part of our mission to prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. As the number of activities grows, we are excited to populate a calendar that will allow all members of the Alamo Colleges District to participate in these enriching events. We encourage you to submit your activity during IEW by completing and submitting this form. We want to assure you that we are committed to publishing your activity on the IEW-dedicated website within two business days to help promote your event and show our support for your efforts.
Below is a button that takes you directly to the activity form. In addition, you will find a QR code that will take you to the activity form. We encourage you to share either one with groups or committees preparing events for the week. Deadline to share any activities is November 14, to be promoted on the IEW2024 website.
