International Education Week

Celebrate International Education Week with us! International education is all about expanding horizons, making connections, and establishing mutual understanding between people in the United States and other countries. To sum it up - we want you to EXPLORE. International Education Week 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.

Peace Corps panel discussion: 

Join Career Services and the Office of International Education for an engaging Peace Corps panel. Attendees will hear from returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Central Asia and the Caribbean. The panelists will share their experiences serving in those communities and offer insights into the challenges and rewards of international service.

In addition to the panelists, Senior Peace Corps Recruiter, Julee Muro de Gerome (RPCV Dominican Republic), will be available to answer questions about the Peace Corps application process. With new openings posted in November, this is the perfect time for UWRF students and community members to explore the Peace Corps as an international service opportunity.

The Peace Corps is a volunteer program run by the U.S. government that sends Americans abroad to work in underserved communities, focusing on education, health, the environment, agriculture, youth development, and economic development. Founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, the organization's mission is to promote world peace and friendship by providing technical assistance, helping communities meet their development needs, and fostering mutual understanding between Americans and people of other countries.
