International Education Week

International Education Week (IEW) is a week-long celebration that highlights the power of international education and cultural exchange. As we celebrate this week, we also honor Mid-Pacific’s founding as a collaboration of global and local communities to today’s diverse student body.

This year, 10 flags fly at our campus entrance, representing the home countries of our currently enrolled international students alongside the Hawai‘i and United States flags: Japan, Australia, Korea, Singapore, Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
