Skidmore will celebrate International Education Week (IEW) Monday through Friday, Nov. 14-18, with an array of activities - cultural, academic, and co-curricular - designed to showcase the value of international connections.
IEW is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of an effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
At Skidmore, the Office of Off-Campus Study and Exchanges has collaborated with other offices, departments, and student groups on programming that demonstrates the rich variety of options available to students interested in international study.
