Passport to the World
Passport to the World is a free annual event that is held every year during International Education Week. It is put on by International Student Association.
The event is centered around a different theme each year and is specifically geared toward children. During Passport to the World, student organizations representing countries and regions from all over the world have booths where “global citizens” can stop by to learn from and interact with student representatives. A special passport is given to all participants to keep track of their journey around the world.
Save the date! Passport to the World 2012 will be on Sunday, November 11 from 4-6pm in the Atwood Ballroom. Event poster coming soon!
