International Education Week
Be a Part of IEW!
International Education Week (IEW) takes place yearly the 3rd week of November. IEW 2024 will take place November 18 - 22. It is an opportunity to celebrate the 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 an effort to promote programs that prepare citizens for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. Every year, International Affairs compiles a robust schedule of events that take place virtually and across campus. All events are open to our entire campus community to highlight San Diego State's engagement in International Education. Take a look at some of the events from prior years and considering participating next year. New events will be added and updated closer to November in the upcoming year.
