International Education Week (IEW) is a time to celebrate the diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences that make the University of Texas at Austin a vibrant global community! International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) invites Longhorns to join us for a week of creativity, cultural exchange, and connection. 

 Enjoy performances by fellow Longhorns or explore artistic traditions through a hands-on activity at these two ISSS events.

Come cheer on friends, discover new talents, and celebrate the creativity of our international Longhorn community! 

International Tile Painting

Explore artistic traditions from around the world while creating something uniquely your own! Join ISSS for International Tile Painting, a hands-on event where participants can discover ceramic art styles from different cultures and design their own decorative tiles. 

From colorful patterns to intricate designs, ceramic art has a rich history across cultures. This event offers a chance to learn about global artistic traditions, express your creativity, and connect with fellow Longhorns. No artistic experience is necessary, so bring your imagination and get ready to create! 

Celebrate Global Connections on the Forty Acres 

International Education Week offers an opportunity to recognize the contributions of international students and scholars and learn from one another. Whether you come to enjoy a performance or create a piece of art, we invite you to meet someone new and celebrate the global connections that enrich life on the Forty Acres. 

We hope to see you there!
