International Education Week is for everybody! Let's bring the world to UMBC!
The International Education Week committee is encouraging all areas of campus to get involved in IEW 2020. We want to celebrate our international community, support international initiatives on campus, and share international experiences with domestic students and community they might not otherwise be exposed to.
As you begin thinking about IEW, consider the following:
- With a virtual event, you can also reach a wider audience. As you propose an event you will be able to indicate which audiences you would like to target. This could be faculty, staff, current students, prospective students (domestic and international) and/or the wider UMBC community.
- Events come in a variety of forms, including virtual activities, presentations, lectures and more. Interested in hosting, but not sure how to get started? The IEW committee is here to help you plan next steps.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact the committee at iew@umbc.edu. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Lets bring the world to UMBC!
