International Education Week 2019
Join the Celebration! November 18–22, 2019
International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. IEW is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
What does the power of international education mean to you? How can international education change the world for the better?
We asked our IIE colleagues to finish the sentence “International Education Can…” and we were so inspired by their answers, we had to share!

OPEN DOORS
The 2019 Open Doors Annual Data Release was held on Monday, November 18, in Washington, D.C. at the U.S. Institute of Peace.
As we talk about the #OpenDoorsReport today, remember that each of these 1.4 million students – from America and around the world – has a powerful story to tell. And each of them is now better prepared to make a more powerful, positive impact around the world. @IIEglobal pic.twitter.com/rw5czHEl1U

These impact stories can serve as enhancement tools for IIE’s business proposals, renewals, philanthropy campaigns, and – most importantly – to inspire those of us who work to make these programs happen every day!
