A joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education, IEW is an opportunity for campuses to celebrate international education in all its forms: curricular, extracurricular, formal, non-formal and everything in between. International Education Week is for everybody!
The International Education Week committee is encouraging all areas of campus to get involved in IEW 2021. We want to celebrate our international community, support international initiatives on campus, and share international experiences with domestic students and communities they might not otherwise be exposed to.
As you begin thinking about IEW, consider the following:
Events come in a variety of forms, either virtual or in-person. Examples include: presentations, lectures on research or current events, activities (diy/fun), workshops and more.
As you propose an event you will be able to indicate which audiences you would like to target. This could be faculty, staff, current students, prospective students (domestic and international) and/or the wider UMBC community.
Interested in hosting, but not sure how to get started? The IEW committee is here to help you plan next steps.
If you are interested in hosting an event during IEW 2021, please complete this Google Form. Event submissions will be due no later than Friday, October 8th if you wish for the event to be marketed as a part of IEW.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact the committee at iew@umbc.edu. We look forward to receiving your event submissions. Let's bring the world to UMBC!
Kind Regards, IEW Committee

In compliance with the UMBC CPCC, our office is excited to resume education abroad in a safe and responsible way beginning with Winter 2022 and Spring 2022!
At this time, applications will only be able to be opened for specific program types in specific locations based on the latest guidance and best practices. The Education Abroad team will be conducting regular reviews of program locations to monitor the safety conditions. While applications will be open, studying abroad is not guaranteed. A program may be cancelled up to the departure date if conditions warrant.
As we resume international travel, international conditions are still very fluid and conditions in specific destinations may change quickly resulting in cancelation of the planned study abroad experience. Students are expected to be in regular communication with the Education Abroad staff, have a back-up academic continuity plan, and be flexible with their program selection.
Pursuant to the UMBC international travel policy, students are only able to study abroad in locations that have a Department of State Level 1 or 2 travel advisory and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travel Health Notice of 1 or 2 and on programs that have sufficient health and safety support.
The Education Abroad team is keeping a running list of available programs which can be found here.
Any questions can be directed to educationabroad@umbc.edu. To get started, students need to attend a Study Abroad 101 session and information can be found here.
