November

Monday-Friday, November 16-20

International Education Week (IEW) at UWRF will be comprised of a series of educational, cultural, social and recreational events designed to cultivate interest in and awareness of UWRF's dynamic global community. The goal of IEW is to raise awareness about the vast range of international education activities and resources at UWRF. All departments and student organizations are encouraged to participate and plan events that will coincide with this week and that, to the extent possible, highlight our international campus and global understanding through international education and exchange.
Please explore with colleagues, students, friends and organizations ways you might help the campus celebrate this important event. Your IEW activity/event can be a part of your regular programming array - just program it during this week and give it an international or global twist!
Here are some ideas to get you started thinking:
* Cultural activities such as international arts performances, film festivals, international themed art exhibits, concerts, photo contests, displays, outdoor festivals.
* Lectures and workshops.
* Invite colleagues, members of congress, the Governor, or locally-elected officials to speak about the positive impact of international education.
