International Education Week, November 17-21, 2008, is a joint effort between the US Department of Education and US Department of State in order to promote and celebrate multiculturalism and international education. Throughout the week, campuses, embassies, and communities are encouraged to hold activities celebrating international education and diversity.
Temple University will kick off International week by holding A Carnival of Cultures on Wednesday, November 12th, by celebrating international diversity on campus. Groups and organizations are invited to participate in a celebration of the many cultures and ethnicities represented on our campus. The afternoon will consist of various booths, presentations, and travel prizes. A winner will be selected from the Trivia Contest entries.
