International Education Week (IEW) is November 13 through November 17. According to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, IEW is “an opportunity to highlight the value of global and cultural competencies and promote programs that help U.S. students and teachers develop global skills for success in the 21st century.” During IEW, Mercer University Libraries will celebrate International Day on Thursday, November 16. We are so glad to support our international students.
In collaboration with Katie Lloyd, Assistant Director of Global Services, check out last year’s YouTube video to learn about IEW and International Day. Also, visit the table displays at the Atlanta, Douglas, and Henry locations.
