International Education Week celebrates the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. As a top 100 global research university, international education, research and collaboration are part of MSU’s DNA, making us who we are.

This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of global efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences.

Here’s how you can join us in celebrating #IEW2021:
