International Education Week 2014

International Education Week is an opportunity for the PLU campus to celebrate the benefits of international education to our community. This national event is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education 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.

Join us at a screening of the documentary Speaking in Tongues, followed by a discussion led by Dr. Bridget Yaden on the current state of bilingual education in American K-12 schools.
