Event Description
Secretary of State Colin Powell's endorsement of International Education Week cited the importance of international education in promoting tolerance and in building friendship between the United States and other countries.  Following the events of September 11, it has been more critical than ever to strive to reduce conflicts, support democratic development and increase understanding through international education and exchanges worldwide.

For this reason, at UNK we will be hosting activities Monday, 11/16 through Thursday 11/19 in the Nebraska Student Union.  Each day will showcase a region of the world to include Latin America, Asia, Europe, and Africa.  Over the noon hour, various speakers will be addressing regional issues in accordance with the highlighted region of the day.  The weeks' activities will culminate in a closing celebration Thursday evening held at the Alumnae House.

More information about planned activities during International Education Week 2009 will follow.

*  All activities will be free and open to the public.
