LAWRENCE — From Nov. 18 to 22, units across the University of Kansas Lawrence campus will come together to celebrate International Education Week with a host of multicultural events.

A joint initiative between the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, the week promotes programs that prepare those in the U.S. for a global world and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the United States.

Events include a global trivia contest, lectures, panel discussions, professional development opportunities, a cultural talent show and the presentation of the George and Eleanor Woodyard International Award.

The KU community is encouraged to join the conversation on social media by using the hashtags #IEW2019 and #GlobalJayhawks to share how international education has enriched their lives.
