Back Issue: December 10, 2004 | The ethnic and cultural diversity of Gallaudet’s student body is one of the University’s strongest assets. The immeasurable contributions that each international student brings to Kendall Green was celebrated during Gallaudet’s recognition of International Education Week, held November 15 to 19. The week featured discussions on topics such as volunteer opportunities outside of the United States for students, the benefits and challenges of foreign study, international development with deaf communities, and imagining the bleakness of a campus community without international students. There were also entertaining, educational activities at a November 17 International Festival featuring dance, crafts, food, culture, and fashion. The week’s events were sponsored by the Office of International Programs and Services, Multicultural Student Programs, the Mentoring Program, Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, the International Student Club, the English Language Institute (ELI) Students Organization, and the Asian-Pacific Association.
