Center for International Studies Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Join us to celebrate International Education Week (IEW) 2014 starting on Saturday, November 15 through Thursday, November 20, 2014. This year's IEW will also celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Ohio University Center for International Studies, which began with African Studies in 1964. International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. It is part of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' efforts to promote programs that prepare American students for a global and changing environment and also attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the United States.
