Global Affairs will observe International Education Week Nov. 17-21.

Students, faculty and staff can join in the recognition of the many global connections that shape and enhance teaching, learning, and research at Nebraska.

This year’s celebration encourages departments, colleges and student organizations to host events that highlight the benefits of international education and exchange, showcasing the many ways Huskers engage globally — at home and abroad. Activities include lectures, cultural showcases, film screenings, workshops, and interactive conversations that bring international perspectives to campus.

“International Education Week is a time to recognize and celebrate how our international students, faculty, staff, and global partnerships make Nebraska stronger,” said Maegan Stevens-Liska, assistant vice chancellor for Global Affairs. “Each event — big or small — creates space for connection and helps us better understand our shared world.”

Throughout the week, Global Affairs will celebrate Nebraska’s international community, with events including Global Hot Drinks in Louise Pound Hall on Nov. 17, and Just Go! — a campus-wide series of study abroad highlights — and the International Scholar Reception, both on Nov. 19. A Flag Display featuring more than 200 flags representing the nations of UNL’s students, scholars, and partners will also be showcased at the Global Education Center in Louise Pound Hall.

Additional information and a full calendar of events is available online. If your unit or organization plans to host an event or partner with an existing activity, please submit your details here by Nov. 14.
