Dayton-area colleges and universities celebrate International Education Week
Officials from the University of Dayton, Wright State University and Sinclair Community College will take part on Friday, Nov. 21, in a digital video conference with educators in India. The event will highlight International Education Week, as well as the importance of international education and exchange in the Dayton region.
For the seventh straight year, India is the leading source of foreign enrollments on U.S. college and university campuses, accounting for a record 94,563 students during the 2007 academic year, according to the Times of India.
The digital video conference, “Perspectives on Internationalism, Individualism and Interchange,” is planned for 7:30 a.m. Friday. The panelists are Stephen P. Foster, Wright State associate vice president for international affairs; Sundar Kumarasamy, UD vice president for enrollment management; and Robert Keener, Sinclair professor of marketing and chair of the international education committee.
International Education Week (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 U.S.
IEW will be celebrated on Dayton-area campuses this week with events that also include passport fairs, lectures and films.
Passport fairs allow the public to apply for or renew a passport for international travel. They will be held at UD on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 4-7 p.m. in Alumni Hall Room 012, and at Wright State on Thursday, Nov. 20 from 10 a.m-2 p.m. in the University Center for International Education office in the Student Union.
