2025 International Education Week
What is International Education Week?
IEW is designed to celebrate the global reach of education, the presence of students from around the world on our campus, and the expansion of our campus to cultures and destinations around the world through Education Abroad programming. This week we hope to highlight the people, organizations, events, and opportunities that make Colorado College a global community and a point of departure for students to explore difference, cultures, and their place in the world. We hope you find many of the planned activities intriguing and engaging.
This page highlights our Calendar of Events for the celebration and will provide links where you can sign up for different panels, presentations, and events. The week will feature workshops, panels, discussions, study away info sessions, social events and our HUGE Study Away Fair, held on Thursday, January 30 in Worner Hall from 12-2 pm. We expect 30+ partners to be on hand along with all of our CC Block Away leaders to be there to help you explore all the options for study away in 2024-2025.
The Center for Global Education & Field Study would like to recognize that we celebrate IEW on our campus, which is situated on unceded indigenous lands. The state of Colorado has 48 distinct native tribal communities which share our land and have been caretakers of this land for generations. We recognize native peoples here and around the globe as part of the global community which IEW aims to celebrate. We cannot celebrate International Education without acknowledging the essential contributions and ongoing stories of native peoples in Colorado, the United States, and around the globe.
We also recognize that February is Black History Month, and we wish to acknowledge that the cultures, languages, traditions, peoples, and movements of Africa and the African Diaspora form a vital part of the global community as well as our nation. We celebrate the countless ways in which their presence, their struggle, and their lives are essential to the past, present, and future of our nation, our world, and all of our lives as part of a global community. We cannot celebrate International Education without acknowledging the historical inequities and injustices which exist as well as the incredible contributions, innovations, and inspirations which continuously emerge from Africa and the African Diaspora.
AN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION IS FOR EVERYONE
Don't believe us? OK. How about these folks? They are pretty convincing.
