The Office of International Programs had an amazing International Education Week! ๐โ๏ธ
We started the week with the SVSU in East Asia Panel on Monday, and then ate very delicious food from several countries at the International Food Festival on Tuesday.
Wednesday brought us a plethora of stories from study abroad alumni and current study abroad students at the Study Abroad Story Slam.
Friday was filled with fun. We had several students share their cultures with us through art, clothes, and more in Curtiss Hall. We then looked at all of the beautiful decorated doors following the theme of "Global Cities". Lastly, we celebrated birthdays in the month of November.
Thank you to everyone who made our International Education Week so beautiful. ๐๐
