Looking for something fun and exciting to do on campus? Interested in international education? Look no further!

Next week, SF State will host the International Education Week, with the theme "Striving for a Sustainable Future." According to the University website, IEW began in 2000 thanks to then U.S. President Bill Clinton, and works to encourage international education here and abroad.

For those not aware, international education refers to studying abroad and what not.

Take time this week to try new foods, learn about other cultures and even how to design green buildings?

Yes green buildings! I took a chance to look over the events and this event stuck out:

Open Classroom: Global Green Building Methods and Design Solutions

Monday, Nov. 15,11:10 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. in Burk Hall 336

Description: "The class will discuss international building methods and materials advancing sustainable design and construction. Instructor and students will present research of other countries for global design solutions addressing energy efficiency, conservation of resources, and recycling."

While I have no idea how to draft anything, it's definitely great to have a space to learn about new ways to build sustainably.

The itinerary for the week is too large to put in one post, so I've gone ahead and put the links to the PDF files of the week.
