International Education Week 2018

International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint effort of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of their efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in United States. International Education Week (IEW) is celebrated all across United States annually during the third week of November and is an opportunity for the University of Houston to showcase international initiatives across the campus.
