Celebrating Diversity

International Education Week (IEW) is fast approaching and there are a variety of IEW events planned. Over 100 countries celebrate IEW al over the globe to help raise awareness for the importance of international education and how it benefits academic institutions such as Humber. International education plays a crucial role in further progressing Canada economically, socially, and culturally.
