The goal of IEW, broadly speaking, is to celebrate and raise awareness around the benefits of student mobility and international exchange. It is an initiative started by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education.
The 91社区 Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) and the Office of International Education and Global Initiatives (IEGI) collect and advertise events for International Education Week (IEW) which takes place November 17-21, 2025.

United Kingdom: Urban Fiction and Urban Sites is a summer study abroad program led by 91社区 Professor Amir Ahmadi. Students will spend just over 5 weeks on-site in London, exploring the diverse literary portrayals of the city. Participants will study how novels and films create many new Londons out of the same streets, caf茅s, Tube stations, and riverbanks, see the city like a storyteller, and learn how to become one. Students will get to further experience London through visits to the Dickens Museum, British Library, and Southbank Centre. Earn 4 credits (ENG 380). General education credit will be offered for Humanities (H) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Justice (D). Previous knowledge of the course content is not required.
