The Brock community will explore global connections, cultures and cuisines this month during a range of International Education Week (IEW) events.

Observed in more than 100 countries, the weeklong initiative promotes the value of global learning experiences. Brock’s celebrations will take place from Monday, Nov. 16 to Friday, Nov. 20.

“International Education Week is a celebration of relationships, partnerships and opportunities that are built throughout the year. Behind every event and initiative is a dedicated community of students, faculty, staff and partners working together to create meaningful global learning experiences,” said Marla Terreberry-Portfilio, Associate Director, Global Engagement. “This week recognizes those efforts while highlighting the important role international education plays in fostering cultural understanding, expanding perspectives and connecting Brock to communities around the world.”
