Every year, one week in November is dedicated to the celebration of international education. International Student Services participates in this joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for the global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
This week gives international students a chance to share their ideas, food, and culture with American students, faculty, and staff. Throughout the week, there are special events including a cultural festival, trip to the United Nations, photo contest, and film festival.
International Education Week (IEW) is November 16-20, 2009!
Let's make it 2 weeks long!
Starting November 9, Student Housing and Residence Life at The New School and each of the Residences have put together programs with an international focus.
All students in Housing are welcome to any of the events listed. Are you planning on going in a group? Talk to your RA and get a party going!
