International Education Week (IEW) is an annual, week-long celebration of international education during the third week of November. The University of Guelph celebrates IEW with more than 100 countries around the world. International Education Week is designed to showcase the significant contribution that international education makes in preparing Canadians for the global world and supports Canada’s efforts to engage effectively on the international stage.

This initiative is a reflection of the spirit of co-operation and collaboration from the various stakeholders across Canada who will join forces to highlight the importance of international education. Activities undertaken by individuals, schools, colleges, universities, associations, businesses, governments and non-governmental organizations will help strengthen the understanding of international education and its importance.

The Centre for International Programs (CIP) co-ordinates programs and events with campus partners each year to showcase the important contributions of our campus community to international education. Click here for a schedule of the week’s events.
