International Education Week (IEW) 2024
Every year in November, International Education Week (IEW) invites communities across the globe to draw attention to international education, research and cross-cultural exchange.
From November 18-22, 2024, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) joins this initiative to advance international community and intercultural dialogue through a week-long, impactful series of events. With a wide range of interactive activities, workshops and social gatherings, TMU invites our students, faculty and staff to celebrate the diverse array of cultures on our dynamic downtown Toronto campus!

- Enhance global community, industry, and entrepreneurial collaborations
- Build on an intersectionality-informed campus through amplifying global and newcomer perspectives
