International Education Week Celebration

Baldwin City, Kan. — Baker University will celebrate International Education Week Nov. 17-21 with various events on the Baldwin City campus.

International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education. The week is an opportunity to share the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. The annual initiative aims to promote international understanding and build support for international educational exchange by encouraging the development of programs that prepare Americans to live and work in a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study in the United States.

For the fall semester, Baker is represented by students and faculty from Australia, the Bahamas, Belarus, Canada, Congo, Denmark, France, Germany, Guinea, India, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Romania, Russia, St. Kitts and Nevis, United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.
