Cornell celebrates International Education Week

Posted on: 11/4/2008

International Education Week, an annual event initiated in 2000 by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the U.S. Department of Education, will be celebrated November 17-21. Special events take place at educational institutions across the country and embassies around the world to share culture, current events, and history, and promote international exchange. The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, its associated Programs and many other groups supporting international education will once again mark the week through talks, presentations, and activities both on- and off-campus.

Key events of the Center and its associated Programs include the Global Lens film series. Global Lens is a program of the Global Film Initiative, founded to promote cross-cultural understanding through the medium of cinema.  This year the series includes 10 films from Argentina, China, Croatia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Lebanon, Philippines, and South Africa. The Global Film Initiative was founded to promote cross-cultural understanding through the medium of cinema. Four of the ten films that will run at Cornell Cinema will are offered as part of an educational subseries. The Kite (Lebanon), The Bet Collector (Philippines), and The Fish Fall in Love (Iran) are free to high school students and teachers for all screening dates and will include an introduction and post screening discussions with Cornell faculty, staff, or associated scholars.


The Center will hold its annual reception celebrating international programs at Cornell and recognizing the recipients of our faculty seed grant competition, those who have applied for the Fulbright U.S. Student and Fulbright-Hays programs and everyone who has helped these students through the application process. Also, Cornell’s International Education Network (CIEN) will host a special presentation by Hilary Fraser, Immigration Attorney on immigration enforcement against students and scholars on November 20 at 8:30 in G08 Uris Hall.


Other events with an international focus such as seminars, film screenings, and exhibits will take place throughout the week. For details, please visit the International Events Calendar.
