Each year educators, students, and community supporters across the country celebrate International Education Week, sponsored by the US Department of State and the US Department of Education. The IU South Bend calendar of events include presentations, community outreach projects, a photo contest and more. We hope you will join us in the celebration!
This year the IU South Bend campus community will welcome Esha Sarai, education reporter from Voice of America to our campus in celebration of International Education Week 2019. Ms. Sarai will be travelling to South Bend to attend our annual International Thanksgiving Luncheon on November 22 at 3:00 PM in the University Grill to prepare a broadcast piece on how universities are celebrating International Education Week. Her story will feature interviews with several of our international and domestic students.
