Join us in celebrating the benefits of international education and cultural exchange during International Education Week: November 17-21. 2025.

About IEW

International Education Week (IEW) has been a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and Department of Education since 2000. This year, several professional organizations are ensuring that the tradition and spirit of IEW carries on: NAFSA: Association of International Educators, The Forum on Education Abroad, and the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA).

IEW at SJSU

We are pleased to offer events that aim to highlight the value of international education in our increasingly interconnected world. Whether you’re engaging with us on social media or joining us at an event, our hope is that you’ll be inspired to be curious about learning about others--other people, other places, and other cultures. 

Brought to you by International Gateways, International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS), and Study Abroad and Away (SAA).
