International Education Week
November 17-21, 2008

International Education Week (IEW) is an annual joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. The national week-long program promotes international exchange and fosters greater global awareness. New York University (NYU) is doing its part by incorporating a global perspective into both the academic and co-curricular programs offered throughout the community. NYU will celebrate the spirit of IEW throughout the month of November.
