Created in 2000 by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, International Education Week鈥檚 objective is to promote educational programs that prepare Americans, as well as international students to succeed in a world that has become increasingly globalized 鈥 and continues on that track.
鈥淚n today鈥檚 world, what happens in Rio de Janeiro, Jeddah and Jakarta impacts our lives as much as events and trends in Cleveland, Toledo and Cincinnati,鈥 said Todd Diacon, 麻豆精选 president.
