DICKINSON CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK 2019 

What is International Education Week about? 

International Education Week, to be celebrated from November 18-22, is an initiative co-sponsored by the US State Department and the Department of Education to promote and celebrate international education. 

Though at Dickinson we believe that every week is international education week, we will take this week to highlight some of our many events that promote international education.  

Why is the international education week so special?  Dickinson has been awarded the 2019 NAFSA Paul Simon Award in Campus Internationalization.  We are the only institution to win the award twice! The awards ceremony happens during IEW in Washington, DC.
