There are several ways that university community can get involved in the activities of International Education Week:

Initiate and co-sponsor a new program or co-sponsor one of the listed programs. IPS invites all international clubs and departments to “initiate and co-sponsor” an event or program for the IEW. 

• Faculty offers extra credit for attending IEW events
• Students, faculty and staff publicize IEW events
• University community attends and supports IEW events

University community displays global art and info, wear ethnic dresses, international ties/T shirts, taste ethnic food at the MUB etc.

If our club/department wants to initiate a new event or co-sponsor one of the above listed program, what should we do?
You can send our proposal to IPS. The proposed must specify:

• Type of event and how it will enhance the theme of the IEW
• Theme of the event and proposed location and rationale for selection of the location

• Targeted audience
  
  Does your proposed event addresses one of the following areas?:
