Get Involved
All colleges, departments, and student organizations are encouraged to get involved in IEW, and to share all the wonderful international aspects of UW! Whether it is a uniquely designed activity specifically for IEW, or an event that reflects your department's (or your own) internationalization efforts, we look forward to celebrating the global impact of UW. We encourage you to spotlight your international students and faculty, education abroad students, and international research. Suggested activities include cultural demonstrations, panel discussions, professional development, workshops, poster sessions, and more.
To submit your events for inclusion in the IEW calendar, contact iew@uwyo.edu. WyoGobal will provide some assistance, but event planning is up to the students, faculty, and staff. The event submission deadline is November 13th.
