Illinois International News

Illinois International News is a collection of globally-focused blogs and stories from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

As 2023 ends, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of our favorite times with International Student and Scholar Services. This is the second of three stories highlighting those 2023 ISSS memories. The story features a slideshow of photos from several 2023 International Education Week events. International Education Week took place from Nov. 5-11. 

International Education Week starts Nov. 5 and extends through Nov. 11 this year. The celebration will be comprised of numerous educational, cultural, and recreational events hosted by student groups, centers, colleges, units, and local partners.

International Student and Scholar Services and University Housing are looking for recipe submissions for this year’s International Cook-Off. 

Recipes must fall under the three designated categories for this year which are dumplings, rice, and chicken. 

IEW was organized by International Student and Scholar Services, but they partnered with several student groups, centers, colleges, and units on and off campus to provide different immersive learning experiences for the campus community.

This was done not only to raise awareness about the wide range of international education activities and resources in the community, but also to teach others about the importance of international education and its benefits.

International Education Week returns in person this October, and with a dozen events to participate in, students, scholars, faculty, staff, and community members will have an opportunity to experience the importance of international education.

Students and scholars have until Oct. 7 to register for the 25th annual Indoor World Cup.

Current students or scholars can submit recipes that represent the country they’re from between now and September 14.

Each recipe submission must conform to one of the following five categories—dumplings, rice, bread, curry or kebabs.

During the 2020 Virtual International Week celebration, Global Relations organized a Fulbright Photo Contest featuring University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign faculty, staff, and student who are current or past Fulbright award recipients.
