Join the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business as we celebrate International Education Week (IEW), Nov. 13-17, 2017. The worldwide event is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to celebrate international education and exchange.
At Smith, more than 10 events are scheduled throughout the week to celebrate our global mindset. Events include an alumni panel on Global Competencies for the 21st Century Workplace and an International Coffee Hour. Students who are interested in learning a language or taking part in a global internship can attend an information session to find out how to incorporate these classes into their schedule.
To learn about the benefits of a global mindset and international education, take a look at U.S. Department of Education’s video featuring the managing director of the Center for Global Business at the Smith School, Rebecca L. Bellinger. “International Education Week is the perfect opportunity to engage with fellow students, faculty, and staff in the Smith School to demonstrate just how globally-minded we are as a community,” says Bellinger. “The entire university is invited to join us in Van Munching Hall for a week of globally-themed events and programs.”
This year, the Smith School will highlight international research and thought leadership at the Smith School by using #SmithKnowsGlobal on social media. The Smith community will also showcase student mobility programs and the global reach of alumni by using #SmithGoesGlobal.
