International Education Week comes to Pullman campus

In observance of International Education Week at WSU April 1-5, the International Student Council (ISC) is hosting a series of events.

Kicking off the week on April 1, a showcase of short films and discussion with the director, Ammar Basha, will spotlight the continuing refugee crisis in Yemen and the impacts it has globally and within the Pullman community.

ISC is also working with the International Center to host Tea around the World and Desserts around the World events.


ISC and Dining Hall Services are collaborating to bring international dishes to campus throughout the week. “With finals approaching, we wanted to help comfort students and elevate their experiences through cuisine,” said Rutuja Sonawane, ISC vice president. “We sent a survey to our affiliated RSOs (registered student organizations) and asked students what cuisines or specific items they wished to be included in the menu and forwarded these results to dining services.”

Mission statement

The mission of the International Students Council is to unite the international registered student organizations and serve as a voice for the international student population at WSU. The ISC promotes mutual understanding across cultures, races, and beliefs; fosters communication between people of different nationalities; and improves global awareness on campus and in the Pullman community by hosting International Education Week and diverse intercultural programs.
