Flags from around the globe hang in the Student Center, in celebration of International Education Week

St. Lawrence University celebrated International Education Week November 13-17, with flags and stickers identifying sites around the world where students, faculty and staff have lived and studied.

Sara Trimm, assistant director of off-campus programs in the Center for International and Intercultural Studies, annually asks the campus community to let her know their home country, or international locations where significant time has been spent living and studying. Flags from as many countries as will fit are hung in the Student Center during the week, and Trimm provides flag stickers to all who request them, to be worn during the celebration. This year, Trimm says, stickers representing flags from 103 countries -- including the United States -- were provided.

In addition, the Student Center had information about options for study abroad.
