International Education Week (November 13-16, 2018) is a national week of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education that celebrates the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. Global Affairs, in collaboration with UC Davis partners, plans and hosts a diversity of International Education Week programming here on campus and encourages students, faculty, and staff to share their international stories and experiences on social media using #GlobalAggies.
Join us as UC Davis students, faculty and staff regale us with personal stories about mountain top rescues, troubles at the border, and treetop hideouts! Through the art of storytelling we create connection and understanding of who we are as a global university.
