Lakehead University welcomes the community to participate in International Education Week 2021.

For the past 2 decades, organizations in over 100 countries around the world have celebrated International Education Week (IEW) throughout the third week of November. IEW provides an opportunity to highlight the benefits of internationalization efforts worldwide. Between November 15-19, Lakehead University will take part in the celebrations by offering a variety of virtual and in-person events that are available to all members of our campuses and communities in Thunder Bay and Simcoe County. Interactive sessions will be hosted by staff and community partners to showcase opportunities for studying abroad, celebrate cultural diversity on our campus, highlight the unique voices of our international students through panel discussions, and much more. We invite you to join us in collaborative dialogue!

Join us for our kick-off event, "Canada Through My Eyes", happening on Monday November 15th from 10AM-2PM in the Agora. This interactive event will showcase the unique perspectives of international students and newcomers through expressions of writing, poetry, art, and more.
