On Nov. 18, Brandeis University kicked off its annual I Am Global Week in the Shapiro Campus Center Atrium. At this event, members of the Brandeis community were able to learn about the full schedule of IAGW, pick up an IAGW T-shirt and sample international candy from different areas of the world. 

IAGW is a week-long Brandeis celebration that takes  place every November during the “U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education - sponsored International Education Week.” The campus-wide celebration focuses on highlighting “global efforts and achievements across campus” and “promotes integration between domestic and international students,” showcasing Brandeis’ global community.

Events throughout the week are hosted by a mix of student groups, campus partners, Brandeis faculty and the International Students and Scholars Office. The signature event of the week is the Global Bazaar. At the Global Bazaar, students are “invited to host tables and represent their culture, club, or country in a creative and interactive way” according to the IAGW website. This year the Global Bazaar will take place on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the SCC.
