Florida State University will celebrate International Education Week along with the rest of the nation Nov. 13-17. International Education Week provides an opportunity to highlight the benefits of international education and acknowledge the importance of having international students and scholars on campus.

“FSU has a rich history of supporting internationalization and cultural diversity,” said President John Thrasher. “Ensuring that our students have the skills, competencies and global awareness needed for success in the 21st century has long been one of our top priorities.”

This year, Florida State is one of four institutions to receive the 2017 Senator Paul Simon Award for Internationalization, awarded by the Association of International Educators (NAFSA). The award recognizes FSU’s comprehensive efforts to internationalize campus.

Thrasher will travel to Washington D.C., during International Education Week to accept the award and participate in NAFSA’s annual presidential panel for Paul Simon Award winners on Tuesday, Nov. 14. He will discuss FSU’s accomplishments leading up to this award and its ongoing commitment to internationalization. Watch the webcast at www.nafsa.org.
