International Education Week

International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This week seeks to advance cultural understanding as well as protect cultural heritage. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

IEW at Vanderbilt University is a collaboration among ISSS and many other campus partners and organizations.

IEW 2025 will take place from November 17 – 21, 2025. We are now accepting proposals for IEW 2025! To be considered for inclusion, events must focus on international education, international/cultural exchange, and/or living in a global environment. Submit your proposal here by 5pm on Friday, October 24, 2025. Student- and scholar-initiative proposals are highly encouraged!
