This joint initiative of the US Department of State and the US Department of Education is part of our effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the united states. Colin L. Powell, US Secretary of State says: "I can think of no more valuable asset to our country than the friendship of future world leaders who have been educated here." Please send to CCIE examples of what you did last year for International Education Week and what you are planning to do this year.
