– International
education as the key to homeland security
– The internationalization of higher education

– Dealing with Culture Shock
 Recruit local citizens with overseas experience (Fulbright students,
scholars and teachers, former diplomats, Peace Corps volunteers,
business leaders, or journalists) to discuss their international
careers and the importance of international education and exchange.
This can be as formal as a panel presentation or speech or as
informal as a coffee hour or brown bag lunch.
Produce
and / or screen a video about the experiences of international
students on your campus and/or students back from a semester or
year abroad.
Organize a festival spotlighting a particular country or region.
In addition to films, live performances, or art exhibits, interactive
elements such as teaching students how to cook food of a particular
country, learn a traditional dance, or the basics of a foreign
language.
Host a Quiz Bowl on international affairs, geography, or world
history. (For ideas, take
the IEW Quiz!)
