International Education Week Comes to MLC

A tea ceremony presented by Professor Tingting Schwartz was just one of many presentations and displays during International Education Week, informing students about other countries, study abroad options through International Studies Abroad, and global ministry opportunities through MLC Daylight International.

The week also featured an open house in the International Services Office, an international student poster fair, and delicious foods from China, the Caribbean, Korea, Canada, and Pakistan.

According to our director of international services, Professor Thomas Hunter, IEW is observed by colleges all over the world. “It promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attracts future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.”

MLC’s purpose for IEW is similar, but the primary goal is different. “Our goal is to thank our heavenly Father for bringing ministry students from other countries to study at MLC,” Professor Hunter says, “and to explore the opportunities he has presented to us for using our talents and mission-minded spirit around the world.”
