Please join us in celebrating International Education Week November

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