About International Education Week
International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. Each year the Alamo Colleges participate in International Education Week in an effort to celebrate diversity, increase awareness of international learning experience benefits, and continue advancing the mission of globalizing the Alamo Colleges District. Join us virtually and in person, as we bring internationalization home and build on the global competencies of our students and community.
