Since 2017, the University of Richmond has promoted the value of deeper connection to cultures through International Education Week (IEW), part of a national effort to highlight the importance of global engagement, dialogue, and cultural exchange. We work with faculty, students, staff, partner organizations abroad and the Richmond community to learn together on campus through classes, lectures and discussion, the annual Ecochallenge created with the Office of Sustainability, and cultural activities.

Despite COVID-19 restrictions, student organizations have supported continuing with programming as we are able during the 20-21 academic year. UR’s engagement with India will be spread out over events during the spring 21 semester.
