International Education Week 2020

What is International Education Week?

In a world where we are connected increasingly to each other through travel, business, academia, the environment, and global affairs the importance of us being aware global citizens is more important than ever before.

International Education week gives our campus community the opportunity to celebrate the diversity of SNHU and the world around us. Throughout the week we will highlight opportunities to internationalize our SNHU experience through local involvement and international experiences. Come join us in this week of celebration, enquiry, and understanding.
