International Education Week is November 16-20

The Study Abroad Office would like to invite all students, faculty, and staff to join us for a week-long celebration of international education! International Education Week (IEW) 2009 will take place from November 16-20. A joint initiative of the U.S. Departments of State and Education, IEW is observed across the United States and in over 100 countries worldwide. The event represents an opportunity for Towson students, faculty, and staff to join together to promote and celebrate multiculturalism and international education.

More than 10 departments at TU have joined together to plan 15 events over the course of the week for students, faculty, and staff. For more information including a complete schedule of events, special menu items from Dining Services, and our “Where in the World . . .” quiz, please visit: http://www.towson.edu/studyabroad/iew2009.asp.
