International Education Week (IEW) is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of State, designed to help "promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States." William & Mary joins institutions and organizations across the country, and embassies all over the world, in participating in this annual event.
