This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of the efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

This year we have guest speakers, sporting scrimmages, information sessions, cultural simulations, workshops, dance lessons, movie screenings and much more. I hope you'll share this information with your students and colleagues and post this flyer around your office or department so that everyone is aware of all the opportunities to engage internationally during this week of events. 

Georgia Tech celebrates IEW each year with a series of events that highlight Tech's international opportunities and that recognize the international accomplishments of Tech students, faculty, and staff. With the Office of International Education Photo Contest, T-Shirt Design Contest, and International Coffee Hour recurring annually, new events encouraging global engagement are introduced each year.
