IEW aims to highlight Emory's cultural diversity, bringing together faculty, staff, students and alumni to celebrate their global education experiences, and to foster networking and collaboration around global engagement.
Goals of International Education Week at Emory:
- Celebrate Emory research, collaboration, and engagement around the world
