About International Education Week
International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
This initiative is a joint venture between the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education which was created to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
We encourage all Morgan State students, faculty, and staff to participate in our week of events.
