International Student Services and International Programs at IU South Bend invite our community to think globally and celebrate locally during this year’s virtual International Education Week November 16-20, 2020. This annual event promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attracts future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. Join us in celebrating the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide, held this year via social media and virtual gatherings.
“Seeking to better understand and lift up our world’s cultures and people is more important than ever,” said Chancellor Susan Elrod. “Travel and gathering may be limited now, but we can still come together virtually to recognize and celebrate global connections and get to know our world better.”
Watch IU South Bend channels for social media experiences that will offer ways to learn languages through apps and websites, test world recipes, meet some of IUSB’s international students, or to listen to some favorite international songs (send your contributions to IntpIUSouthBend@gmail.com).
