Join OISS in celebrating International Education Week (IE Week) January 21-24, 2025. Each year, universities around the country join the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education in recognizing the incredible benefits of global exchange through people, culture and ideas. UCSB will celebrate IE Week by honoring and giving thanks to our international community of students, scholars, staff, and Education Abroad Program participants for their cultural and academic contributions to our campus community. This year, OISS is teaming up with various UCSB departments to host an array of cultural and educational events throughout the week. We hope you will join us!

IE Week Toolkit
OISS has curated an International Education Week Toolkit with three calls to action — Support, Learn, and Advocate. Our hope is that you use this toolkit to show your support for the international community, learn about issues facing the international community, and help advocate for the international community. Feel free to use this toolkit before, during, or after IE Week!
Create an IE Week Event for UCSB
International Education Week is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the incredible benefits of global academic and cultural exchange! If your department or student organization is planning an event, we’d love for you to share it. Simply upload your event to Shoreline and use the Event Tag "International Education Week" so everyone can join in the festivities.
Have an idea for an event but need a little support? The OISS team is here to help! Feel free to reach out to us at oissprograms@sa.ucsb.edu—we’d be thrilled to collaborate and make your vision a reality. Let’s celebrate together!
