International Education Week is a joint initiative of the US Dept. of State and Dept. of Education. Colleges and Universities across the country plan events on their campuses to highlight the growing importance of international education and exchange from both inbound (international students in the US) and outbound (study abroad) perspectives. Georgia Tech celebrated the week (November 14 - 18, 2011), with various activities such as a global tea party and the annual OIE Photo Contest.

Congrats to the GAIE Advocacy subcommittee who were invited to the Georgia Capitol on December 14th for a photo with Governor Deal and the proclamation.
