Share your global story by Nov. 18!

We are kicking off International Education Week with a showcase of global experiences from our very own faculty and staff at Shoreline! What is your global story? It could be your family’s history, countries you have visited, your favorite travel memory, hosting an exchange student, things you have learned from your international experience, or anything else you would like to share. Here below is a preview of stories from Ginger Villanueva and Samira Pardanani and how stories will look like when posting on Facebook and Instagram.

International Education Week 2021

International Education Week (IEW), November 15-19, 2021, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
