International Education Week, a New St. Lawrence Tradition
During International Education Week, students across campus gathered to eat, dance, create, and learn while celebrating the many different cultures represented at St. Lawrence.

From Diwali, the Festival of Lights, dance workshops, and language lessons, to international art and sushi-making classes, there was no shortage of opportunities for students to share their cultures and learn new things about our community.
Each November, St. Lawrence University joins the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education in celebrating international education and exchange. This includes celebrating the contributions and impact of international students to St. Lawrence’s campus and promoting awareness about opportunities
to study off-campus.
The week is organized by the Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies (CIIS) and the International Student Services Office.
