This November UNC World View is excited to celebrate International Education Week. Held November 15-19, 2021, International Education Week celebrates global education programs that prepare future leaders and build dialogue across nations.   

Started by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education in 2000, International Education Week continues to bring together educators as well as “embassies, international organizations, businesses, associations, and community organizations.” The week illuminates the importance of international students and studies to schools in the United States, from kindergarten classrooms all the way through to undergraduate and graduate programs. The week also underscores the importance of preparing U.S. educators and students for a global environment by encouraging them to pursue global opportunities domestically and abroad.     

UNC World View celebrates international education this month and throughout the year. We invite you to join our upcoming programs, from Global Education in a New World and Global Business in a New World to Strategies and Resources for a Global Media Center
