International Education Week

International Student Services at The College of Wooster, hosts the annual International Education Week (IEW) celebration every year in collaboration with various campus offices and student organizations. For academic year 2026-2027, International Education Week will be celebrated from Nov. 2-7, culminating with the annual Culture Show, which will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7 at McGaw Chapel.

The Culture Show will be live streamed on this page. 

IEW is a joint initiative of the US Department of State and US Department of Education. Its goals are to celebrate the benefits of International Education and to recognize the global exchange environment between the US and other countries. On the national level, IEW was first held in 2000. We are proud to say that IEW has been celebrated at The College of Wooster for more than thirty years. The first festival was initiated by foreign language faculty in the 1970s.
