Photo Contest
Calendar of Events

International Week aims to expand the awareness of and interest in global learning opportunities by celebrating the intercultural diversity of campus life. This annual event also promotes collaboration of various divisions and departments as well as student groups on campus and strengthens the University of Pittsburgh as a center for international education.

International Week provides a variety of activities that support and complement the academic and public service missions of the University. We chose this year’s theme of Celebrating Cultural Diversity to reflect current issues in the world. Also we wanted a theme that would incorporate other departments in the University that traditionally may not have been involved.

Pitt Around the Planet Photo Contest

Each Fall Semester, the Study Abroad Office runs its annual photo contest to showcase the travels and experiences of recent study abroad participants. The 2007 competition promises to be the largest ever, with photos from all over the world. Submitted photos will be displayed in the Kimbo Gallery from September 22-28. All who view the photos in the Kimbo Gallery are encouraged to vote for their favorite photo. View submission rules and guidelines at the Study Abroad Web site to find out how you can get involved.
