For the sixth consecutive year, SFSU will join universities throughout
the country for a weeklong celebration of international education,
Nov. 14 to 19.
The primary focus of International Education Week is to increase knowledge and awareness of the world's cultures among students and the wider SFSU community, said Jennifer Wissink, SFSU International Education Week coordinator. "But it also highlights the vital role that international education and exchange programs play in promoting peace in the world." The week's events, organized by the Office of International Programs, include film screenings, internationally themed meals, lectures, presentations, workshops and other activities. All events will take place on campus and almost all are free to the public. Highlights include:
International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. departments of State and Education. It promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and that attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the United States. For details and a complete list of campus events, call the Office of International Programs at (415) 338-1293 or visit the SFSU International Education Week Web site. -- Matt Itelson
