Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ recently celebrated International Education Week 2015 (IEW) with on-campus events that showcased cultures and ethnicities from many parts of the world. Along with the Center for Global Education, students prepared and presented a wide range of activities. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s international students represent 47 countries.

Sarah Etter, a liberal studies major at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, spoke with people about her culture and gave out traditional candy and cookies at an IEW booth. “It was really exciting to see people interested in my country. I enjoyed the chance to share some things about my culture and talk about the differences between Switzerland and the United States,â€� Etter said.

The weeklong observance was held Nov. 16-20, in conjunction with the initiative sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of State and the U.S. Dept. of Education to highlight the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
