The Office of International Programs (OIP) hosts this collaborative event that provides an opportunity to recognize, advance, and elevate international awareness across the Kansas State University campus through a variety of events.
International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences. International Education Week at K-State presents opportunities to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
“This week provides a great opportunity for our university community to learn, absorb and support the international initiatives that make our campus a rich and diverse global arena,” said Grant Chapman, associate provost for international programs. “We hope that all will take advantage and participate.”
K-State International Education Week events:
In coordination with IEW, the OIP follows the basic IEW guidelines yet expands the week to be as inclusive of as many campus events/programs as possible. This campus wide collaboration creates a more engaging event(s) and an increased awareness of the global impact that K-State provides, all while cross promoting to increase connectivity within K-State.
Publicity Note: Please help us to cross promote and include the IEW logo and QR code on your publicity of IEW collaborative events.
