International Education Week, an annual opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide, will be celebrated at Salve Regina Monday, Nov. 30, through Saturday, Dec. 5.

Although the pandemic has impacted both incoming and outgoing international exchange, Salve Regina is still engaging wherever possible by hosting international students, as well as two visiting Fulbright Language Teaching assistants from France and Spain. In addition, the Office of International Programs continues to work with students who are preparing to study abroad in the future, when conditions allow.

This year’s International Education Week events will focus on student mobility, providing the information, tools and resources needed to cross borders for the purpose of education. In addition, the two Fulbright Teaching Assistants will offer Spanish and French language tables, film nights and cooking demonstrations. The International Student Club will also sponsor a Trivia Night.
