What is International Education Week?
Since the year 2000, International Education Week has been an annual nationwide celebration of both international education and intercultural understanding. Its primary focus has been the importance of increasing knowledge and awareness of the world’s cultures among students and the wider SFSU community. But it also highlights the vital role that international education and exchange programs play in promoting peace in the world. For members of the SF State community, our hope is that International Education Week will be an opportunity for you to learn something new, taste another culture, and begin to realize that the world is full of myriad opportunities to learn about cultures.
