The Office of Student Services, in conjunction with Peter Shaw and other student and staff facilitators, will host an International Education Day on Friday, November 21st. Our mission is to celebrate the benefits of international education and foster interest in international education in the younger generation. We will do this by introducing and exposing a group of 60 local high school students to the international environment that makes up the Monterey Institute community’s daily lives and by sharing insights of the international experience. We plan to have a fun-filled morning of interactive activities exclusively for these high school students.

On October 16 – 19, the Monterey Institute, NPS, and DLI will be co-sponsoring Windows to the World: A Cultural  Education Film Symposium.

Films will be shown at the following locations during the Symposium:

Thursday, October 16:  DLI

Friday, October 17:  Community event at the Golden State Theater on Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey Saturday, October 18:  NPS Sunday, October 19:  MIIS

I am including a flyer for the event windows-handout-9-10-08 and additional information can be found at [ http://www.nps.edu/PAO/WindowsToTheWorld/

Please note that registration for the films that you are interested in will be helpful.  NPS and DLI require gate access, so registering to attend any of the films shown on those campuses will be necessary and make entering their facility easier.

The October 17 event at the Golden State Theater is open to the public.

Four films will be shown at the Monterey Institute on Sunday, October 19 – two at 1PM and two at 3:30PM, which will likely be the most convenient for MIIS community members to attend.  There will be a 15 minute introduction by a faculty expert for each film, followed by a 30 minute discussion.

There will also be a reception at the end of the last set of movies.

We are looking forward to a successful event and hope to see you there!
