International Education Week at Davidson

Davidson College is proud to celebrate International Education Week November 13-17, 2023 through a variety of informative and fun events and activities for students and other members of the campus community.

International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
