It is one of the most important week during the year for foreign students at Utah Valley University (UVU). They come together to celebrate differences and culture awareness. GEW is organized and coordinated by the International Student Council (ISC) at UVU, and they bring all the energy and effort to make this event an enjoyable week for families in Utah County.
GEW also serves to promote campus-wide international programs that prepare UVU students to become productive citizens in the global society; foster collaboration and integration among international students, conventional students, faculty, staff, and administrators at UVU on international issues; and encourage cultural awareness among UVU students and community members.
Every year ISC creates a cultural theme for GEW to make it interesting to their audience and bring a global prospective to UVU campus. Some of the successful themes from past and this year were International Airport, Amazons, and Ancients Egypt.
More than 2000 people around Utah County come and participate of this global awareness, they try delicious international food and enjoy performances around the world. Also, foreign students are able to share with this community their culture and the importance of it.
It is a week to celebrate differences and learn from diversity!!
