The International Week 2020 Committee was sad to have our 39th iWeek at Mason canceled due to the University closure! It was a lot of months of preparation and hard work for this big celebration and we are extremely grateful for everyone who was involved in the planning process with us. Our committee still wanted to honor iWeek and celebrate Mason’s International communities and their cultural diversity. With that being said, we are very excited to share with you virtually our passive International Week 2020 schedule (March 30th – April 3rd)!
The virtual/passive events are the following:
- Monday, March 30: #MasonMemory – Share a favorite iWeek or Mason memory with us. Make sure to use #MasonMemory & tag us! (@masonoips @into_mason @masonpatriots)

International Week is one of the most colorful and energetic times on campus and though we are not able to offer the physical events for our students, we are very excited to be providing our students with this virtual option. We will see you next year as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of iWeek at Mason!
