All events are free and open to the public.
For a number of years, the university's International Club has organized International Day, which consisted primarily of displays from various countries. Last year, the club moved the date of its celebration to coincide with the national United Nations International Day, Oct. 24, which observes the founding of the United Nations in 1945. Faculty, staff, students, and about 500 local school children will join members of the community for the celebration. International Week builds upon the university's liberal arts mission, which requires exploration of diverse points of view represented by the many cultures around the world, Dr. Call added. We work at this effort every day and every week of the year, but the special focus during International Week and UN International Day helps us to make the entire university community aware of our mission and charge.
