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 promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. International Education Week takes place each year during the week prior to Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for information on University of North Texas campus events and activities to be held in 2017.
