Coastal Carolina University has planned a series of events in conjunction with International Education Week, Nov. 12 to 16. The events include films, lectures, food and exercise classes that are international in their subject or origin.

The public is invited to attend the events and sessions.

A joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, International Education Week is one part of a larger effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for success in the global environment and promote the U.S. to those from abroad as a dynamic and welcoming location to study, learn and exchange experiences. Each year since 2010, CCU has celebrated this week with a variety of activities representing a collection of college, departmental, club and individual initiatives.

International Education Week activities at CCU were coordinated through the Office of International Programs and Services, the Programs Committee of the Faculty Senate and CCU's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
