International Education Week Nov. 16-21

WMU's 2009 IEW celebration is in memory of
Dr. Diether H. Haenicke, a stalwart advocate
for international education

Western Michigan University will showcase a wide variety of countries and cultures during International Education Week Sunday Nov. 16 through Saturday Nov. 21. WMU's observation of the week-long national celebration of international education is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Diether H. Haenicke, who served as WMU's president from 1985-1998 and as interim president for one year in 2006-07 until current President John M. Dunn was hired.

WMU's Diether H. Haenicke Institute for Global Education has organized a full slate of activities featuring the culture and cuisine of 15 countries or regions of the world. Most events planned are free, open to the public and take place on the main WMU campus in Kalamazoo.
