Our third installment of our International Toolkit Series is for you if you are interested in exploring careers in journalism/communications, or writing.

International Education Week is celebrated at Pitt and campuses across the country for one week, from November 17-21, 2014. The week is an opportunity for you to experience a new culture, open your mind to a new perspective of the world, or to simply savor a new taste. In short, this is the one week of the year that is jam-packed with activities to open your senses to the world.

Check out the activities planned for each day of the week at www.internationalweek.pitt.edu

The UCIS-Nine University and College International Studies Consortium of Georgia Joint Faculty Development Workshop on “Mobilizing People, Students, and Ideas: Social Movements across the Globe and in the Undergraduate Curriculum” was held on March 6, 2015. The organizer of the program was the Director of the Consortium, Dr. Raj (Rajgopal) Sashti, of Middle Georgia State College. It was held on the campus of Clayton State University in Morrow, GA (metro Atlanta area) as part of an on-going collaboration.

Over the last two academic years, there have been students in our [WCCC] classrooms from over 40 different countries. Because we do not have large numbers of international students, it is sometimes easy to overlook their presence on campus. On October 6, faculty members from the University Center for International Studies at Pitt will provide unique insight into the life experiences of international students.

Professional development workshop for faculty of the Nine College and University International Studies Consortium of Georgia, addressing political and economic aspects of the current Russia-Ukraine conflict and how this material could be introduced into undergraduate classrooms.

Please join us for a special day just for world language teachers, ESL teachers, social studies teachers, and administrators.

Highlights include the following:
-FREE curricular and instructional materials for teachers from the University of Pittsburgh's International Outreach Coordinators
-International enrichment programs for students here in Pittsburgh
-Information on the new Global Scholars Program from PSMLA
-Opportunities for international service-learning trips
-Exploration of a global citizenship curriculum

Filmmaker Xu Xing will give a lecture about his journey to documentary filmmaking. A Chronicle of My Cultural Revolution film screening will start at 10:40 am followed by a screening of 5+5 at 2:00 pm.

Roundtable discussion following the Summary of Crimes film screening. Panelists include Edward M. Gunn (Cornell University), Paola Iovene (University of Chicago), Kun Qian (University of Pittsburgh), Jinying Li (University of Pittsburgh)

Summary of Crimes (132 minutes, Chinese with English subtitles) Xu Xing's documentary searches for a group of peasants from the lowest stratum who were labeled "active counter-revolutionaries" during the Cultural Revolution era (1966-1976). They have been left with no means to recount what they suffered decades before, or to tell what has befallen them since. As the years pass, they have simply been forgotten.
