Fifth Annual International Education
Week
PCC Community:
Greetings from the Office of International Education.
Please join me in celebrating the Fifth Annual International Education
Week (IEW), November 13 – 16, 2007. The week will be a celebration of
the PCC international students, faculty, and staff living in this
global community. International Education Week is a joint initiative
of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education.
It intends 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.
The program brochure for this exciting week is already available in
your department district wide. If you haven’t received your copy,
please go to www.pcc.edu/international and click on the PDF document
under International Education Week.
The International Education Week’s events will include various
workshops for faculty and staff from the returning participants of the
CIEE Faculty Development Seminars worldwide and Instituto Cultural
Oaxaca in Mexico. For students, there will be the International
Fashion Show & Showcase at Sylvania (Upper CC Mall) on Tuesday,
November 13 and Thursday, November 15 respectively, the International
Showcase & Talent Show at Rock Creek (Bldg.3 – Mall and Forum areas) as
well as the Multicultural Center Open House (Bldg.3/128b) on Tuesday,
November 13, and the International Extravaganza at Cascade (Cafeteria)
on Wednesday, November 14.
The event-filled week will also include Chanrithy Him at Sylvania on
Thursday, November 15, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., in the Little Theatre
(CT 201). Chanrithy is the award-winning author of the book When
Broken Glass Floats: Growing up under the Khmer Rouge. She will share
her and family’s struggle when the Khmer Rouge took power in Cambodia
in 1975.
At Cascade, on Tuesday, November 13, and at Rock Creek on Thursday,
November 15, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., stop by to see the exhibit, Eyes
Wide Open: The Cost of War to Oregon, displaying more than 65 pairs of
empty combat boots – tagged with the names of Oregon soldiers who have
died in the current Iraq War together with a visual display exploring
the history, cost, consequences of war and a Wall of Remembrance to
memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict.. This exhibit is
sponsored by ASPCC RC & CA and the Multicultural Programs at Rock Creek.
