Preparing students to become global citizens

For one week every year, students at universities and colleges across the United States celebrate and experience the benefits of international education and exchange.  The University of Pittsburgh actively participates in this joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education.  International Week is hosted by the University Center of International Studies (UCIS), dedicated to initiating, supporting, and coordinating international activities campus-wide.

Each year, the national International Education Week focuses on a theme of critical global importance. In 2017,  the theme of International Week was “Displacement.”
