American International Education Week (IEW)

International Education Week (IEW) is a joint venture of the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of State. It highlights the importance of preparing Americans for a global environment and the benefits of attracting future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences with Americans in our country. We encourage participation in IEW by any individuals and organizations interested in international education and exchange, including schools, colleges and universities, local and state agencies, embassies, international organizations, businesses, associations and community organizations.
