International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
Events
The Global Initiatives Week Kick-off Celebration showcases performances, cooking demonstrations, multilingual children's story time, displays, booths and so much more! This event is family-friendly, FREE, and for all ages! Please join us in learning about the world beyond our borders by thinking globally and acting locally! This year's event will be held virtually.
Educate our world through the Peace Corps. Education and English-teaching specialists are needed to address global education and training needs at grassroots levels. Help improve a community's education levels, teaching methods, and language competencies while gaining global skills for your career.

Religion, faith, and spirituality are important in how individuals perceive themselves and engage in the world around them. Rarely do we reflect on our own spirituality in relation to other faith backgrounds, ask questions, and debunk myths and stereotypes about our faith practices. In this Identities Project civil dialogue, we will have a panel of individuals representing a variety of faith and spirituality backgrounds and we will discuss our own practices, ask mindful questions of one another, and work to create space for an inclusive interfaith campus community.

Gabby is a full-time travel influencer of @packslight, who got her start by studying abroad her junior year of college. The odds were stacked against her: BIPOC, about to graduate, and with a STEM degree. Yet she enjoyed an entire year studying abroad in Dubai, UAE (completely paid with scholarships too!). She's here to answer all of your questions and show you that YOU can study abroad, too!
Viterbo students who register and attend this session will be entered to win Gabby-approved travel gear!
