Campus Events

International Programs offers a wide variety of events throughout the academic year to which members of the campus and the community are warmly invited to attend. International Programs also publishes an International Events Calendar at the beginning of each semester which attempts to list all internationally-oriented events on the campus, including those offered by units other than International Programs. In the case where International Programs merely acts as a clearinghouse for information, we seek to provide alternative contact information so that you may contact event organizers should you need more information about a specific event. Please join us and experience global diversity without leaving home!

International Poetry Reading

April 11, 2012; 12:15pm

Each year, the IU Southeast Library hosts an International Poetry Reading in April, in conjunction with National Poetry Month and National Library Week.  This has been a wonderful event in the past, and we would love for you to participate this year.  Each participant reads a poem in his/her preferred language.   The Library prepares a booklet with the poems in English alongside the original language, so that the attendees can both see and hear the various languages.   This is always a happy event for both readers and listeners, and we hope you will join us as a reader!
