UW International Education Week Underway

International Education Week at the University of Wyoming continues through Saturday, Nov. 21.

The International Student Association (ISA) collaborates with the Associated Students of UW (ASUW) to host the activities.

“The University of Wyoming and the city of Laramie are fortunate to have a rich community of students and faculty from international backgrounds,” says Brian Schueler, ASUW president. “Students from other countries bring an important diversity of cultures and ideas to our campus, providing opportunities for education, growth and friendships, which would otherwise be impossible.”
