Get Involved

All colleges, departments, and student organizations are encouraged to get involved in IEW, and to share the 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 and deepening the global impact of our institution. We encourage you to spotlight your international students and faculty, returned education abroad students, and international research. Suggested activities include cultural demonstrations, panel discussions, professional development, workshops, poster sessions, and more.

Students, faculty, and staff may submit appropriate events that will occur during IEW for inclusion in our online calendar and in printed publications. WyoGobal will provide some assistance in coordinating, but full event planning is up to the students, faculty, and staff. The deadline for event submission is open until November 12th.
