International Education Week: Catching Up or Leading the Way

Catching Up or Leading the Way: The Critical Need for Internationalizing and Globalizing

International Education Week 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 our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States. MnSCU two and four year institutions have come together to host a conference to support and celebrate this event.
