Please join the Office of International Education as they host International Education Week at IUP from October 12 through October 21, 2020.
IEW is a joint initiative between the United States Department of State and the United States Department of Education to promote cross-cultural awareness, prepare students for a global environment, and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn,
and exchange experiences in the United States.
Funding is provided by the OIE and IUP Student Co-Operative Association. All events are free and open to the community, unless otherwise noted.
A host of fun, cultural events are currently being finalized and while they may look a little different this year, we hope you mark your calendar to join in this exciting week.
Schedule of Events
Tails from Abroad Podcast special series for IEW: “Celebrating the Student Journey.” New episode released each day this week. Streaming on Anchor, Spotify, Apple, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts. Indiana University of Pennsylvania students, staff, faculty, and friends share stories about time spent abroad. What about their time abroad has changed their life?
What insights do they have now from their experiences? What is it about their story that will inspire you?
