Dear Colleagues,
This week we celebrate International Week, a campus-wide collaboration with numerous educational, cultural, and recreational events co-hosted by student groups, centers, colleges, units, and local partners. International Week not only raises awareness of the breadth of international education, activities, and resources available in our community, but showcases what make Illinois a truly global campus. From learning new languages to trying foods from around the world to engaging in conversation about international topics—there is something for everyone. I encourage you to participate in the many wonderful events taking place this week. Visit the International Week Calendar for a complete list of events.
