International Education Week 2025 | NOVEMBER 10 - 14 , 2025
International Education Week (IEW) is a national 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 efforts to promote
programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders
from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
This week is a chance for Cal Lutheran to commemorate the cultures represented on
campus and learn about the differences that make the community beautiful. The Center
for Global Engagement in collaboration with Cal Lutheran partners invites you to engage
in global learning by attending various programs throughout the week.
The International Student Spotlight is a special initiative by the Center for Global Engagement that celebrates the diverse voices and experiences of Cal Lutheran’s international community.
Each feature highlights an international student’s story and the impact they are making within our campus and beyond.
This spotlight honors our international students and their achievements while fostering understanding and appreciation across cultures. By amplifying these accomplishments-no matter how big or small- we hope to inspire
the Cal Lutheran community to embrace diversity, build empathy, and recognize the
power of international exchange in shaping a more inclusive world.
Follow @clu.international on Instagram and visit the CGE website to read these inspiring stories and meet the students who make our global community shine.
We invite you to join World Wellness, a calming and reflective session designed to promote mindfulness and connection across cultures.
Take a mindful pause from your day and enjoy a short guided relaxation activity that
encourages grounding and self-awareness. Participants will plant their own succulent, symbolizing growth, balance, and care, a small reminder to nurture both mind and soul.
Let’s come together to celebrate global well-being, cultural harmony, and the power of shared experiences.
Global Ambassador Relaunch
We’re excited to celebrate our Global Ambassadors this International Education Week — students who bring the world to Cal Lutheran and take Cal Lutheran to the world!
The Global Ambassador program highlights students who share their study abroad stories, inspire others to explore
new cultures, and build meaningful global connections. Along with our social media
highlights, visit the Global Ambassador page to meet our ambassadors — past and present
— and see how they continue to shape our international community with their experiences
and perspectives.
