It’s That Time Again – International Education Week is Back!

From November 18 to November 22, 2024, IEE is hosting a variety of events to help students, parents, and staff learn everything they need to know about international education. There will be good conversation, good food, and most importantly good information that can help to prepare you for your international journey! We also have an Amazing Race-style event where you can complete tasks to earn entries for a chance to win a $500 scholarship. Tasks will be set up in the UWL Student Union, Whitney Center, and International Education & Engagement (IEE). See events below with a * that are eligible for a stamp. More information on events can be found at https://www.uwlax.edu/international-education/current/events/.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick up your special passport in IEE or any task table.
  2. Complete the tasks with a * to receive a stamp/entry in your passport.
  3. The more stamps you collect, the more entries you get for the $500 scholarship!

So, get involved, have fun, and increase your chances to win!
