Join us for International Week 2022, November 21-25!

International Week celebrates diversity at Western, engages students, faculty and staff in discussion and debate about international issues, and encourages learning about international education, intercultural skills, and cultural traditions and activities.

At the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, we want to contribute in concrete ways to:

  • Celebrate Western’s international community and international collaborations
  • Provide information about international opportunities for students, faculty and staff
  • Engage with the London and campus communities in global learning and intercultural sharing
