International Education Week
International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
The purpose of International Education Week at ENMU is to recognize the international students and share their culture from all over the world. The office of International Affairs has planned a week full of activities and events. Please contact the office with any questions at (575).562.4915 enmu.internationalaffairs@enmu.edu
